Petition The BBC should not be forced to pay to be broadcast on Sky TV

More details

At present, the BBC's License Agreement with the Home Secretary forces them to pay £10 million per year to BSkyB for their channels to be carried on the satellite network.

Not one single public broadcaster anywhere else in the world subsidises their for-profit competitors.

This petition urges the government to remove this clause from the BBC's License Agreement; and, to replace it with the option for the BBC to charge appropriately for any, and all, for-profit use of their content.
