It's probably why they're panicking so much about funding nowadays. Once the older generation that's been conditioned to accept the licence fee as a necessary tax dies off, it'd be very easy for the younger generations to have enough vote share that scrapping it would seem inevitable.
The amount media companies have made themselves addicted to government funding is shocking. Moreso, the amount they will whore themselves out to the government to maintain that funding.
A journalist from the CBC will absolutely rape and eat your baby to protect the paycheck his corporate overlord gets from Trudeau.
Pretty much, I kinda view the BBC as irrelevant the day that the Top Gear guys left and joined Amazon. That was the final indicator given their style that the BBC was going more woke. Just looking at any of the current stuff and they are uninspired hacks desperate for government funds or monopoly bucks from Disney or organisations like them.
In a lot of media organisations, you'll have that one guy or guys that at least gave the organisation credibility, once they go for ANY other reason than retire from old age, chances are high they left than be neutered.
and made the "fee" mandatory. You know, for the good of the Party
Hell with the fee. I'm sure they're going to make viewing the BBC mandatory. "Make sure you get your mandatory minimum one hour of news per day Comrade!"
That'll pump viewership numbers up for sure!
I got bets on the entire state collapsing under the weight of it's own incompetence and being divided into fiefdoms ruled by those that can maintain authority (Islamic caliphates, former non woke military, old school football hooligans etc).
The fact that both broadcast and Internet outlets for the establishment news means that it's them which is the issue, not the medium it is being sent by.
I expect more moves by Government to suppress or censor everyone but the "authoritative news sources".

50/50 on that.

The BBC is the state propaganda apparatus of the establishment. Less audience, means the population is turning away from the establishment.
Norways solution to this was to simply remove the license fee from the individual and shift it onto our taxes.
Now we can't even opt out by not having a TV.
This has been the Australian Model for the ABC for decades.
How dystopian- forced to fund your own destruction
No wonder Disney seems to be going for the big name IPs at the BBC.
And this is why they are obsessed with getting X censored. The Narrative is only as good with no other options for the people to get their news.
Its not misinformation that scares them. It's that social media can crowdsource away THEIR misinformation
Yew got a loicense for them internets yew bean veiwin?! We keeps a list of everyone that buys a cellphone/modem/router.
