arista, do you realise the impact the license fee has on TV?

With no license fee, both BBC1 and ITV1 would be competing for advertisers

ITV are already struggling as it is, as are Channel 4 and five

Channel 4 and five would get less advertisers because they'd all be going to BBC1 and ITV1

Then the biggest digital channels would get all the revenue from advertisers for smaller channels

Smaller channels would go bust, some big digital channels would close and the main five would struggle

We'd end up with more repeats and more cheap TV like Cops With Cameras.

Would you basically sacrifice all of TV just to stop paying license fee?
