  I’ve always liked the #BBC and I hope it can continue to provide (mostly) objective, well-sourced coverage. „The precise set of rules that require households to be licensed no longer reflect typical audience behaviour among many households in the UK.“ 🦖📺🦕 https://www.theguardian.com/media/2026/mar/05/bbc-charter-renewal-tv-licence-major-overhaul?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
