This hasn't really been a problem. Not as far as I can see from my life time. The TV shows have never been any worse than private competition, especially considering the 'original 5'. In my opinion, BBC shows tend to be better overall (except Eastenders vs Coronation St). That plus no adverts every 15 mins makes for a good experience. Wrt to news, I read BBC News quite a lot. Again, no adverts to slow scrolling down and reporting that, although may face vehement accusations of bias, isn't all that biased. I would prefer to keep the BBC too.
