If you look at the BBC site, it clearly states that they get all the licence and that they spend it on programming. If they didn't have a licence they would have to put adverts on like ITV, Channel 4 and Five do. They've been going for quite some time now so it's obviously a successful way of doing it.

I suppose it can be broken down quite simply - what do you want - to pay a licence fee or to watch adverts.

You also have to weigh up the quality of some of the programmes. Whilst I can't say that BBC1 is particulary brilliant as it caters for the masses, the loss of the licence fee would affect the less mainstream programming on BBC2.
