The difference is semantic and conceptual.  You could pay for 1)radio  2) 
radio and b&w television and 3) radio, b&w television and colour television.  
And the licence listed the three accordingly.  There was indeed a "joint" 
licence, but it was for radio and television and clearly said so.

Nowadays, the television licence covers radio as well and simply calls itself 
a television licence.  (No separate colour and b&w provision.)

Yes, you couldn't buy a television licence without also buying a radio 
licence, but we were quite clear that we were still buying a radio licence.

The radio wasn't on the licensed premises!
