You only want to keep the services that you use. A lot of the stations you suggested selling of are some of the most important services the BBC has

Actually no, I have listed services which the commercial sector could easily provide, or is already doing so. R1 (minus the specialist stuff) has competitors, as does R2, as does R3 (kind of). On TV, BBC1 and BBC3 have competitors too. These services would also easily thrive on their own (except maybe R3) with adverts and sponsorship funding them rather than the license fee.

The commercial sector doesn't come anywhere close to R4, and never will, and R5L has maybe LBC News/TalkSPORT as competitors (again, kind of) but is otherwise pretty unique. No one is doing what local radio or the World Service does, and could not afford to do so, so they should continue as PSB protections under the reduced license fee. BBC News and Parliament are clear PSB entities so continue as they are, and children's programming isn't being catered for on linear TV by anyone else now really, and again is clear PSB.

You say the services I listed are some of the most important to the BBC, but that's only from an audience perspective and not (necessarily) a PSB perspective.

My proposal, to be clear, is to keep everything which has an obvious PSB purpose, and everything which the commercial can't or won't provide, inside a fairly-funded "BBC PSB" with money coming from a publicly funded source. And everything which would survive under an advertising model, or which has no clear PSB function, to stand on its own in competition with its commercial rivals.
