Re: Funding of the BBC
It will be really interesting to see how this plays out.

The licence fee was to pay for your right to receive broadcasts either from the BBC or elsewhere.

If the BBC decide to adopt a subscription model to raise their funds how does that affect our right to watch the other channels ie. Channels 4 & 5 and ITV?

And what about subscribers to Virgin & Sky who currently get the BBC channels as part of their TV packages? How are they affected? And how will Virgin and Sky be affected under this new BBC model?

And does this mean that in common with the commercial channels, the BBC will start broadcasting advertisements?

The can of worms has truly been opened.
