The problem is that TV is a slowly dying format, so any attempt at saving the BBC is an uphill struggle even with the best will for it. Which I think is a shame, I think it’s culturally important. It needed to have evolved quicker and sooner, but how exactly I don’t know.
I am in Switzerland and I watch tons of BBC content online, listen to BBC World Service evwry other day and enjoy quite a few BBC podcasts from time to time. BBC produces some of the best content!
Broadcast TV may be a dying format. But, BBC is a lot more than broadcast TV. They do radio, they do podcasts, they do short form video content, they do streaming, they do VOD, they do web news and blogs.
IMO, that’s the problem with a TV subscription. A lot of people interact with BBC stuff on a daily basis on phones, computers, game consoles, etc. It’s hard to avoid seeing a piece of BBC content even if you don’t own a TV.
