I would pay a subscription fee to use the iPlayer for the convenience it offers in listening to radio programmes, but if I were asked to pay for a whole TV license, I would do without.

I don’t believe in a free ride. If you are consuming BBC services then you have to be a license holder.” You are ignoring the whole point here, they want an internet licence to replace the BBC TV Licence! “My view is that if you are using the iPlayer you have to be a television license fee payer.
