Reduced tv licence for sky/cable subscribers

Angela Wileman made this Freedom of Information request to British Broadcasting Corporation

British Broadcasting Corporation did not have the information requested.

From: Angela Wileman

30 September 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

Would the BBC agree that tv licences should be reduced for those
who are paying subscription to sky/cable service considering these
people are generally watching other channels and not the BBC?
If not please state your reasons why?(other than affecting your
salaries and pensions).

I believe there are in excess of 2 million people on facebook UK
who have signed a petition to scrap TV licence altogether.

What percentage of the adult population or number would you accept
that tv licence should be scrapped and you should pay for
programmes via adverts and sponsorships as does the other tv
channels?

Also would the BBC agree that people on benefits should not have to
pay TV licence ? If not why not?

Yours faithfully,

Angela Wileman
