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.

It's a good point you make about the license is so you can use your tv . No mention of it being used to provide the BBC funding to pay grossly overpaid TV presenters or indeed director generas. The BBC should be ORDERED to fund itself by whatever way it wants,i.e adverts or subscription. It should not be forcing everyone to pay for them regardless of whether they want to watch their programs or not.
