Yes, it is time to scrap the license fee, there is far too much duplication and waste, we do not get value for money, over £2 billion is raised annually and one wonders where that money goes. Commercials and subscription fees should be introduced. The axe should fall on the too many radion stations and duplicate services. There should be an end to contracting overpaid and pampered celebrities, the army of journalists should also be cut.
We have seen far better quality history, news, and current affairs programming from Channel 4.
Whilst it's true the BBC can produce superb drama it is equally true the commericial channels can also produce superb drama. BBC 3 should be transformed into a base sports channel. Other institutions have had to change and the BBC needs to change.
