TheTeapot Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Just now, woody2 said: but you now have the choice of not paying for a tv licence.......you won't get any choice if the licence fee goes...... What? You've got the choice now, as you rightly point out, of not paying the TV licence, but that has consequences if you are caught. If the licence fee goes then you will have just as much choice, if not more, only without 26 letters a year threatening you. There won't be any need for broadcast TV soon anyway, if there even is now, seeing as everything is online. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people listen for a tiny bit a day, for a bit of music and news in the car, it is only a matter of time before cars stop being shipped with radios and just have a sync with your smart device it might be dying slowly but it is dying get over it. Nonsense. You might as well say the novel died when families stopped sitting in their parlour of an evening reading by gaslight and started listening to the radio or going to the pictures. Yet in the U.K. 90% of the population listen to radio now. And the average listening time is 20 hours per week. Only 24% of listening is in a vehicle compared with 60% at home. Additionally, lots of people listen to the radio via the internet, so the removal of a radio device in cars isn’t going to change much - they just find the station on their phone.
