I seem to recall Nadine Dorries proposing an end to the TV license, which apparently would come about in 2027 if it happens. But with a complete roster change in the tory government since then and a likely loss in the next election, we’ll have to wait and see what Labour decide to do about that.
At £13 a month the TV license is not competitive with streaming services. If this new thing gives you access to the entire back catalog it at least becomes a bit more reasonable.
The TV licence doesn’t just cover the BBCs television output though does it. When you take into account everything else it covers it makes spending £16 a month on Netflix seem like a right con.
Be happy that your public TV is not only way above international standards, but also much cheaper. I actually would not mind to pay that in order to watch BBC.
Yeah. Not exactly free when you’ll have to pay £13 a month for the privilege of owning the TV to watch it on.
Damn, what a bargain. We pay 1 CHF (which is slightly more than £1) a DAY. And Swiss TV isn’t even any good.

Just to be clear - Nadine Dorries was and remains complete fuckwit
