I'm not really that bothered. Its not like the TV Licence is in the same class as our tax's

I get it alright ... yes, BBC1 will still be there, but commercial priorities will be driving it instead of issues of quality. It just won't be the same.
As for their local radio, well the sooner we see the back of the useless waste of space that is BBC Three Counties Radio (for Beds, Herts and Bucks, but mostly Luton) the better. You will get no argument from me there. Even BBC LDN (whatever that's supposed to mean) is right up itelf and considers itself to be some kind of appendage of national TV/Radio instead of attempting to get to grips with local concerns.
