- jzwinck 14y agoThe BBC is different, actually. If you're a UK citizen, you do not have to pay income tax while you live and work abroad. And the BBC is funded partly by an explicit "TV license" payable by any household that has a TV in Britain. So again, if you leave (or just get rid of your TV), you stop paying for it. So maybe it's OK if you can't watch it then (bollocks still, but justifiable bollocks).
- dfc 14y agoHow much money do you think PBS gets from federal tax dollars?
- benjohnson 14y agoJust enough money to keep it under control
- alan_cx 14y agoIm sure the BBC had some way of enabling licence paying Brits abroad to still use iPlayer. Could be completely wrong, but some bell relating to this is ringing in the back of my mind.
