Unfortunately for the BBC we all have plenty of choice from other providers who imo offer better viewing. Why cant they raise revenue by having adverts like most other companies? Adverts cost the average household more than the licence, with no possibility of opting out. It's just a hidden figure. TV licence revenue is £3.8bn/year. The UK TV advertising market is about £4.5bn/year - and that's just the revenue paid to the channels. It doesn't include all the third party revenue, the production costs, etc etc. The total cost to the advertisers is way more than that - and that all comes out of customers' pockets.

Something feels wrong when the salaries of Fiona Bruce and Huw Edwards (and a clutch of others) are equivalent to five MPs each, while Gary Lineker's BBC take amounts to fifteen MPs. Can one football presenter really be worth fifteen MPs? Personally, I just don't see it. It only takes 10,000 pensioners' licence fees to pay GL.
Gary Lineker's wages are vulgar, absolutely nobody would notice him missing after a week. That friendly contract should be investigated. Is he still doing side hustles with BT as well?
Didn't all the high paid leeches have to accept reduced salaries and switch to PAYE so at least they pay tax?
Fiona Bruce ? Weren't all the female presenters getting paid half as much as the men ? Not sure how any woman could be top of the pile.

From the Guardian in 2020
Gary Lineker agrees £400,000 BBC pay cut and to tweet more carefully

To those who believe the BBC to be independent do you still believe it to be ? And if its not independent what is different (other than the obvious differing governments' views and actions) about it to France24, Voice of America, RT, Deutsche Welle etc ? www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65434455

Interesting that you point to an article on the BBC that criticises the method of it's chairman's appointment. Could that be one difference that you wouldn't find on RT?
