The BBC is one of the most British things about the country and the envy of others. Go abroad and and see how much if its output is distributed, the US has channels devoted to it.

As for funding, if they can find another way go for it. However it'll still need paying for. A subscription service would cost lots more with fewer subscribers.

The BBC stopped making decent programs many years ago. Much of their stuff is now made by independent companies. Yes now and then they put out a good program but most of it in my opinion is poor. Some will disagree with me I know but more will agree. I'm not a right wing Tory voter either by_the_way. Just thought I'd mention it.
