Interesting Revenue Model:
Every household with a telly must pay the British government a “license fee” of nearly $200 a year to fund the BBC, which adds up to a $4.5 billion annual subsidy. Americans would probably dump their sets in the Boston harbor if Washington forced them to spend that kind of money for PBS. But by and large, Brits love their Beeb; 93% tune in at least once a week.
