my country's national channels had a license fee too for quite a long while tbh but not anymore for over 25 years now


our new ways of funding is quite simple for NPO (AVROTROS, NOS, ZAPP) we broadcast so called STER adverts before and after each show, but we made a deal not to get ad breaks between shows (only exception is sports shows but that is pretty easy to have a ad break when there is a break in the sports event anyway)

think something like this would also work for BBC, because the main problem i have with ad breaks is if they are between shows (I HATE THAT)



i can understand people who are against this license fee, and yes some of their presenters are a bit paid too much, not even in my country they are being paid too much (those presenters salaries can be adjusted a lot, and they can do extra work by appearing in some of the ads)




but BBC has quite a lot of successes in both drama shows and reality shows

drama series successes

- Line of Duty
- Vigil
- Bodyguard

quite some of the drama mini-series are also of very high quality and with lots of great acting stars in them as well

-------
reality show successes

- Strictly Come Dancing (still millions of viewers tuning in to regular series and christmas special shows)

- The Wheel (also quite nice, and Michael McIntyre does a fantastic job and also good quality celeb experts featuring in it)


upcoming reality show - The Traitors i also expect something from your version, i myself am addicted to ours, such a strong concept game show, really gets you obsessed with if they make the right choices in unmasking a traitor or if the traitors make the right choices to remove the strongest faithful contestants
