BBC
At least part of this is that there is a strong coalition of "Free Marketeers" * and politicians who hate the independence that the BBC has from both political interference and the commercial push to the bottom.
They would like nothing more than to get their mitts on the Beeb and its funding.
God knows the BBC has already been wounded enough between the cuts and dumbing down, relying on low cost programming and repeats to get within the budget.
*Interpreted as not wanting government/public money to go to anybody but themselves.
