    At £175, it's fabulous value.

    Works out to about £3.37 per week. Roughly the same as one cup of Costa coffee from a machine.

    One coffee, or a weeks TV & Radio plus the tremendous archive on I-player.

    I am happy to pay it.

    You'd be mad not to. And don't forget, we don't have to be assaulted with those insufferable "commercial breaks" on BBC. Although, for balance, we do get offered some real dross - Michael McIntyre's Wheel, Strictly, and of course, worst of all & by a very long way the "comedienne" Miranda. Very little in this world is is perfect though.

    Watching them is optional.

    UK considers extending BBC license fee to streaming service users.

    The United Kingdom is contemplating a change to the BBC license fee, which may affect households using only streaming services such as Netflix and Disney, according to a Tuesday report by Bloomberg. This is part of a broader plan to update the funding model for the public-service broadcaster.

    Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s office, the Treasury, and the Department for Culture, Media, and Sport are discussing various options, including extending the license fee to users of streaming applications.

    Other alternatives being considered include permitting the British Broadcasting Corp. to incorporate advertising into their model, imposing a distinct tax on streaming services, and requiring BBC radio listeners to pay a fee.
