Re: The simplest solution would be abolish license fee monopoly

Most audience surveys show that a massive majority of the population access at least one BBC service each week. Possibly not in great numbers, but I think there really are vanishingly few people who fall into the "only watch Sky" category.
Radio is something often left out of that sort of discussion - and of course things like programming for schools.
It's also notable that some research* suggests people aren't always aware of what broadcaster they're watching. Surveys in the past have reported comments like "Yes, I watch Eastenders, but I watch it on Sky, not the BBC."
* Yes, I should supply a link. I'll see if I can dig it out.
