There's a lot of pressure from the advertising-sponsored channels to 
remove the license fee. The reason is that it's very expensive to make 
TV programmes that compete with the quality of the BBC. If they can 
reduce funding to the BBC they won't have to spend as much on making 
their own programmes.
