I suspect the answer is that the BBC is such a part of the fabric of this country that we won't truly appreciate what we've got until the day it's taken away from us. I do hope that day never comes.

And not forgetting BBC online which appears to be invaluable to many on CF current affairs threads.
This reminds me of the old Monty Python sketch. What did the BBC do for us? Apart from all bringing us tons of national and regional terrestial and digital TV and radio channels, inventing digital radio, supporting the Open University, schools programming, groundbreaking drama, current affairs programming that wees all over ITV's (OK, not as good as it used to be) etc, etc
