Honestly, the amount of quality content you get for that price is wild. It's basically free TV if you think about it.

Would totally subscribe just to access those shows since our local stuff is trash

Without the BBC, the whole industry collapses into American copycats and no one cares about local stories anymore. It's the only thing keeping British creativity alive.

CBeebies literally saved my sanity during lockdown with shows that actually teach without being boring. My toddler is obsessed with inclusive stories like Maddie and Triggs too,worth every penny of the license just for that.

exactly, handing it over to Disney or Amazon means everything becomes subscription-only. the license fee keeps a slice of media public and actually accessible.
