There’s also the fact that the cost of living is having a massive impact on the disposable income people have to spend on entertain be it tickets to the cinema or see a show to just going for a meal out. You’re going to find a lot of peoples are going to be turning to the TV to fill that gap.
When you look at the price of sky or even subscriptions to Netflix etc, that’s an additional cost people may have to start trimming back. I think there’s the possibility that people will be tuning back to the BBC
I do think that we’ve got to a situation where when people talk about “the BBC” that they often just think of the news division and forget all of the other things it does. I think it’s where a lot of the unhappiness with the license fee comes from. The educate and entertain sometimes feels like it comes secondary to the news. If you reduced the spending on them further to maintain the news people are going to be even less happy paying it.
Personal opinion, they need to reclaim the idea that “the BBC” is more than just the news it’s documentaries, it’s dramas, it’s entertainment shows you watch as a family and it’s for everyone
