Arguments over the licence fee and what the Beeb ought to be doing have been going on ever since I can remember, with variable vehemence. A whole succession of recent new brooms has left it more confused than ever.
Obviously it would be no bad thing if another new broom tidied it up a bit, but the mercantilist approach you seem to favour would fillet it and turn it into something different and a bit foreign. As an old, large quasi-state institution it has an inertia and an autonomy that are advantages as well as weaknesses.
And do we really want a flood of unemployed homosexualists and lefties mincing and marching onto the employment market in a time of austerity? Do me a favour...
