The UK TV License now look seriously outdated against the many pay monthly streaming rivals such as Netflix, Now TV and Amazon. The UK TV license costs £145 per annum or £12 monthly whereas a standard Netflix account is £7.50 monthly and Now TV Entertainment pass is £6.99. This makes the TV license 40% more expensive than its rivals. For second home owners the price of the TV License doubles even when it will get much less use whereas with the streaming services you pay only slightly more to watch on more than one screen at the same time regardless of location, ideal for providing high quality entertainment in holiday homes. With many people now choosing to only watch selected high quality programming on demand the traditional UK TV license looks very outdated and expensive compared to streaming rivals producing very high quality drama. It feels like many UK TV license payers are now subsidising the few people who still watch the live TV shows. Time for change, the BBC should become democratic and adopt paywalls like the streaming services to see who really wants to pay for what content.
