Also if you were to treat the TV Licence fee as a subscription and compare the cost with a subscription to the popular digital services. Your subscription to terrestrial channels would work out at about 10 to 15 times more expensive!
What are the alternatives to a TV Licence?
So what are the alternatives to funding the BBC with the licence fee and what would the end product be like? One option would be to charge a separate subscription fee and possibly even boost revenues by allowing advertisments. I suspect though that this may not be too popular due to the fact that people quite like having a channel with no adverts on. Another option would be to integrate the channels with existing subscription services so that you can opt in for these channels in the same way that you would for any other premium channel.
At the end of the day though, it's probably all too much trouble for those in charge and besides they would not be prepared to accept any of the inevitable losses that would be incurred.
