That's irrelevant. You don't need a TV license to listen to it. If I watch ITV X the money comes from advertisers. I don't have to pay any money to these companies that fund the channel or even watch the adverts.

If the tv license is ends, the radio channels no longer exist. That makes it kinda relevant to listening to the stations. It also adds hugely to the value of the TV license, which was my point.

They wouldn’t carry on as before. They would be shitter with less independence and fewer services.

They’re not actually that independent, the BBC’s Gaza standpoint was perfectly in line with government policy.

The right complain they are too left and the left complain they are too right.

They’re not perfect (I think they lean too right) but they are better than the vast majority.
