The BBC licence free?

Post categories:

If the licence fee was to be scrapped, how much would you be willing to pay each year for the BBC in its current form?

BBC - what's it worth to you?

iPM listener Pete Landells says, 'most TV isn't worth wasting time on but I would happily pay my licence fee just for those parts of the BBC Radio output I enjoy'.

It's not a new debate but the future funding of the corporation is clearly under review.

The annual cost of a colour TV licence is currently £139.50. A black and white TV licence is £47.

UPDATE: Thanks for your comments and emails. May we press you a little further? Can you pin down a figure that you'd be prepared to pay each month? This is what we're planning.
