Re: Free TV licences for the over 75's
As far as I know, bar the printing and posting of a bit of paper it doesn't really cost the BBC anything to give the free licenses.
If all the old folks that currently have a free license stopped watching then the BBC's profits will not fall 1 penny.
However I guess that they desperately need to recoup some funds after all those that are stopping paying for the license (because its an unwanted tax and often unnecessary).
