If the BBC really wanted to revamp itself, then I think IPlayer should be replaced by new a streaming platform, this could sit alongside the existing licence fee.
The new streaming platform would be available in the UK and abroad and allow the existing BBC Channels to be streamed live for those in the UK, for those internationally, they could have their own content along with advertising, however you could get extra benefits by paying a £6 per month fee.
You could have some exclusive content, so for example you could get early access to EastEnders and certain BBC programmes like the Traitors for example, you could do it so you get the episodes a week early before they go out on terrestrial television.
I think this sort of service would be popular, if you get 100,000 people to pay the £6 a month fee, it would mean the BBC would get an extra £600,000 per month, which over a 12 month period would generate an extra £7.2m for the BBC.
