The TV licence funds the BBC’s 10 TV channels, 10 national radio stations, 6 regional radio stations, 50 local radio stations, 14 regional news operations, the biggest news gathering organisation in the world, 4 orchestras and music groups, world-leading R&D labs, S4C, local democracy reporters, and the World Service. It broadcasts in 39 languages and outputs 140 hours of news per day. It is also about to fund youtube creators. It’s cheaper than the German tax.
That seems more tolerable than in Japan where some people there consider NHK being annoying with agents actually knocking on their door and expecting payment for having a TV.
