 BBC cuts - Terry
I would guess that 95% or more of the UK public know the BBC is funded by a licence fee and is part of the public sector.

I would also hazard a guess that before announcing Channel 4 was being sold, something less than 10% knew it was wholly owned public sector. Public sector broadcasters doing adverts?????

The quality output from the BBC does need protection. The rest can go - if I want (I don't generally) soaps, trivial quiz shows, talent (?) shows, etc I can find loads on commercial TV.

The world of broadcasting has changed since the original BBC charter. ~100 Freeview channels, countless others on subscription, Facebook, Instagram, You-tube, Netflix, online, etc etc.

The licence fee model created 80 years ago, worthy at the time, is no longer fit for purpose.
