What the petition asks
Abolish the TV licence fee altogether. Make the BBC a subscription service, so those who want it can pay for it. Anything the BBC produces these days, is shown on subscription services like Britbox.
The BBC was set up Just after WW1 when the country did not have the money required to set up Radio services. After 100 years, we are still paying this outdated Tax.
