How dreadful would life be if Auntie went radio only? I'm glad someone else has asked this! I spent some time earlier this year thinking about the responsibilities of the BBC and given the diversity of freely available video now, I think they could satisfy most of their cultural and journalistic obligations with radio/podcasts for a fraction of the budget. (BBC1 alone takes up 28% of the BBC budget. Their entire radio budget is less than their annual government grant.) I say this as someone who loves BBC documentaries but is also trying to be realistic about resources and waning public appetite to pay the license fee.
