"We're in danger of having no public service broadcasting within a decade, certainly within 20 years," he says. "We don't have a strategy for their survival. It's that serious. The regulators need to start thinking about it."

Do we want a future where European media is dominated by US streamers like Netflix and YouTube, and European broadcasters are a shadow of their former selves or have even ceased to exist?

BBC should just be paid for through taxation instead of shaking people down with harassment letters every time someone within a 1 km radius accesses BBC without paying a license.

If they just collected it straight up they wouldn't be going through hardship. They shouldn't even show ads on a public channel imo.

Anyways watching TV is garbage.

NRK in Norway changed from license to tax funding. It's a good change, the licensing was getting absurd when they wanted everyone either with access to nrk.no to be required to have a license.
