Petition Turn the BBC into a Cooperative.

More details

Her Majesty's Government should turn the British Broadcasting Corporation into a Cooperative with a voluntary membership.

This way the BBC would be owned by the individuals who choose to be members. Members would pay a yearly fee for the service in lieu of commercial advertising.

This would eliminate the need for the television license, a de facto tax, but still maintain the option of advert-free, non-profit television.
