A huge sliding doors moment, especially so soon after the Pornography LP. But, one of these things is not like the other.

That’s bizarre logic. We all “subsidise” the viewing/listening habits of others via the BBC’s funding model (including – yes – sport), and besides, no-one is making you pay the license fee if you feel that strongly about it.

Are there any examples of viable, mass-scale subscription-based, public service broadcasting worldwide? Also, multiple TV/radio channels, online platforms, a vast archive, and it’s all shite? Really?
