This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Unclear in part because the BBC receives funding otherwise than from the licence fee - and there is already a petition on removing the licence fee you which may wish to sign:

Scrap the BBC TV Licence & replace funding with adverts or paywall
