I agree with this, but it's only valid if all members of the public can access the content, otherwise it cannot justifiably be called a public service. The BBC want to have their cake and eat it. They can choke on that cake for all I care. 99% of what they broadcast is trash, anyway. I gave up on TV a few years ago.
