What about programmes like Countryfile or Gardeners World, or natural history programmes. Highly valued by some but they don't have massive viewing figures. They would disappear under this new regime and the BBC would just become.like Sky/Amazon, if it doesn't attract advertisers/subscribers, it doesn't get made. It's funding model means it makes programmes others don't.
