Rejected petition Scrap the television licence. Make the BBC compete on the open market.
Rejected on
The BBC is producing poor quality TV programmes whilst supporting several radio stations with the TV licence. It is time that this was stopped and the BBC is made to obtain funding in a commercial market the same as every other TV station.
