Technically yes. There are ways to watch live BBC without an aerial so this isn't the determining factor, it is to do with the equipment you're viewing on. Plus it covers radio.Question.
In the UK if you had no TV antenna, therefore unable to get BBC and only watched Netflix etc, do you still need a licence ?
It's worth it for BBC4 for me, some decent programming on there.I moan about bbc content a lot, but in fairness for 3 quid a week what it produces at regional and national level is worth it.
What it needs it to be free of any government interference and threats so it can remain level and unbiased.
At the moment it seems to have lived in fear from both labour and tory governments
The BBC provides a huge variety of TV, radio and online broadcasting free from commercial demands to the entire population for less than 50p per day. It's one of the few British institutions that remains respected and envied around the world and we're lucky to have it. It serves as vital counterpoint to the bigoted far right propaganda that passes for news in the Mail, Sun Express and Torygraph.
Most of those in favour of its abolition are people who also froth at the mouth at the sight of Greta Thurnberg and want Brexit done because of human rights.

So it's a left wing tool? The argument you posit gives me more reason to remove it from its place.
Unless your left wing. then its a right wing tool.
