Rejected petition BBC should run adverts to fund its channels. Streaming services not included

Streaming services are not free, individuals have to pay for such a service. To include these in the TV Licence would mean having to pay twice, this is wrong. Also the streaming services are provided by America and this has nothing to do with the BBC.

More details

The changes in Law now allows the BBC to demand payment from households that do not require their channels by including streaming services. The change in law should never have been permitted this was WRONG. The streaming services have nothing to do with anything related to the BBC and should never have been included. If the BBC needs funding - then they should do like the rest of channels and include adverts.
