"multiple local, national, and international radio services with no commercials?"

That's the bit most people forget when they shout "subscription model!"

If they went that way, and I choose to subscribe to BBC Inc, why should my subscription pay for free radio for everyone? What's the answer to funding some of the most listened to stations in the UK? There is no subscription broadcast radio service that I know of that I can listen to on a cheap FM radio or in the car.
