Make TV license optional


Make TV license optional
The Issue
The TV license funds the BBC only. Many people never watch or listen to the BBC yet they are forced to contribute to it: there by funding its status as public service broadcasting.
All other streaming services and TV channels are funded by subscriptions and/or adverts.
I feel those who don't believe themselves to benefit from their contribution to the BBC, should have the option to opt out.
If you agree, I ask that you show your support for this idea and sign this petition
Thanks for reading.
Update. Since writing this I learn the TV license is to be scrapped in 2027, but until then you can expect the yearly cost to raise. In 2024 it will cost you £173.30
