The BBC does not need saving.....let it die
And why would you pay a double licence fee to the BBC to watch youtube videos you can watch for free now?
Oh....sorry.....you were being ironic

I know the BBC gets a lot of criticism - particularly over bias in political coverage
Bit a media landscape without them would be far worse. Murdoch / Daily Mail are far more toxic & would kid delight in the death of BBC and sail further into untruth and horror.

might be more useful to consider bbc as an umbrella term - bbc news is not bbc comedy for example
and a lot of stuff is outsourced to private production companies - presenters of the today programme are encouraged to set themselves up as private companies even. similar issues arise when discussing the nhs

A redefinition of terms would be very useful.
Why what is called TV Licensing is continuing to fund an ever increasing website is beyond the ken of my tiny little mind. Why all BBC content is free at the point of access to all when getting caught without a TV License can result in a big fine baffles my pretty little head. The time to turn the state public service broadcaster into a optional subscription service is long overdue. Who wouldn't be happy to pay for Mel & Sue's Generation Game?

Because it is easier money to extort a BBC fee than it is to earn it directly from subscriptions.
Entertainment which is "free at the point of use" is driving out other means of providing it. Even entertainment funded by advertising is having a hard time.
