@Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

@EdwardJDavey The BBC is a shitshow of garbage and mostly non English persons. It should be axed from freeview. It tries to force people into giving it money with the threat of prosecution if you dont.

@reformexposed Ooh maybe because if the bbc were forced to go subscription, it would get rid of freeview, funded by the tv licence, so to watch tv you would have to pay a blooming fortune on a subscription service?

@WBATDM @rm_rf_tom @Heccles94 The page outlines the fee's primary use for BBC TV (over 60%), radio, online, and distribution, with small allocations to S4C, local TV, and platforms like Freeview—none subsidizing commercial channels' content, which relies on ads/subs. Broadband mentions tie to past digital initiatives, not ongoing infrastructure. This reinforces the BBC's dominant funding share, where bias critiques justify shifting to voluntary support for true diversity and viewer choice.
