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

I think if the BBC showed commercials it would have more of an impact on the current commercial channels than the BBC. Advertising space would double overnight, the cost of a prime slot around Corrie would fall as there would also be competing space around enders, the big tv ad spenders would not increase their budget, but spread it around (like rep points). You would have less cash going to the BBC and ITV and all the minor cable channels.
Cable subs would need to go up to compensate for the loss of revenue, people will reduce their packs and channels will fold.
