We have an app on our Firestick with channels and it lists a lot more than those, so I'm guessing y'all have subscriber-only broadcasting as well? But curious if it is all OTA? Which would be really convenient  ...
C5 obviously has CMs though?... BBC is understandable if it doesn't have CMs... we have PBS (Channel 8 here) OTA/Public Broadcasting Service, which is the similar, and it's donation/CM supported...
PBS has a lot of BBC content on it actually... that's a major way we were exposed to British media growing up... especially anything new-sy, documentary-related... but we also had period classics/British drama on there as well...

I really should watch more Channel 8 than just rely on YT... ._. |
No, the license fee only goes to the BBC - UK-wide and local TV/radio channels and online services. The BBC also has a commercial side that sells programmes internationally, and sells DVDs and magazines.
Channel 4 and 5 make money through commercials. Channel 4 is actually owned by the UK government.
