I just cannot see how it would be to the benefit of any of the British media (in its widest sense) if the BBC joins the rush to get advertising
I don't think that any system is a good system. But I do think the current system is unfair to many. As for loading the Electricity bill to cover the cost. This is already greatly inflated to cover charges for
Environmental & Social Obligation Costs
The cost of supporting various government initiatives through the energy price: 0.94p/kWh or 9.4% of the price
Government ‘green’ initiatives are becoming an ever more influential part of the electricity price and we soon won’t be able to count the number of different costs on the fingers of one hand.

35.1% going to the generators
29.7% going to the government
22.8% going to the networks, and
12.4% going to the energy supplier
No I do not have a solution. Undoubtedly there would be a loss of quality if the beeb was forced to accept advertising and it would be a very different animal. Equally they could cut their cloth a bit there is an incredible amount of wastage & inefficiency in the corporation. They could become a much leaner tighter and efficient organisation given the right management.
