Thank you for the useful article about the BBC Charter renewal by Liz Howell (The Tablet, 25 July).
As she says, one of the main arguments for change seems to be “Why, when you don’t watch it, should you have to pay for the BBC?”
Nobody ever seems to ask, “Why, when you don’t watch it, should you have to pay for independent broadcasting, through the advertising funded every time you go through the supermarket checkout?” That would add more balance to the debate.
