Yes it is.And it's not for the news, it's because of their alleged public service broadcasting element of their schedule.
The news on ITV andGivenchy Channel 4 are provided by ITN. A different company.
Also, it's nothing like 0.4%. Simply not true.

Yep, seen that.Great piece of Guardian reporting failing to grasp the fact that BBC Worldwide is a wholly independent, non-license fee funded company that actually by ploughing back it's profits into Public Service BBC manages to reduce the license fee by a significant amount.
The likelihood of C5 or C4 cozying up with BBCW is as close to zero as makes no odds. It's simply not in their interest, nor can they be forced to do so by Government as they are a independent commercial company.
ITV's entire model, by the nature of it's ramshackle network of affilates, is doomed to failure (evidenced by STV refusing to buy into the new & improved ITV schedule, and defaulting on it's payments to the mothership), doubtless only to be hastened by the appointment of Adam fucking Crozier. I, for one, will applaud that happy day.
Where did that piece mention the 0.4%, by the way?

It came from a radio4 show (probably the Media Show),so I cant link itSomething about a grant to channel 4 of @ £5.6 million last year.
I agree about BBCW but the licence fee belongs to the 1960's when there was no real independent TV and the BBC had built the transmitter network. In these days of the internet (which the BBC has contributed nothing to, it only steals the bandwidth payed for by others), the only fair way to fund the BBC is by subscribers to a worldwide encrypted service...the BBC would earn more money that way but they are too frightened to let go of the easy money of its licence fee

In all seriousness I think the biggest problem with British TV at the moment is a lack of original, brilliant contemporary dramas.We can do historical costume dramas, but we're shit at modern stuff. I'm not sure why.
