@Dave: what? For a hour a year (at most) on the car radio? That's the only radio I have. I won't argue ... but see for
yourself.
I've always been a "pay for what you use" type of guy! If I had a TV to "enjoy" on-air content at a fixed address, then I would pay for that "service" (because that's what the Law requires).
@Denis: yes ... what is the BBC? Is it part of the government (I don't think so), or what? Just like so much of our (over-bearing) legislation, the TV Licensing Laws have failed to keep up with technology and the general circumstances of modern life.
@Dicky: the same goes for on-line news streams ... like
this one for example. And
this (amongst many others).
For what it's worth, I believe that Public Service Broadcasting should be funded from General Taxation. You know, just like all the other "services" we are obliged to fork out for (contribute to), and are presumably meant to "enjoy"!
Meanwhile, the TV Licence is just another
gouge. For instance, why should Colour cost more than B&W? There's no sense to it.
