    A somewhat outmoded mode of funding but has survived from the says of the BBC being a monopoly and it has provided a good overall standard of broadcasting and caters for minority tastes on more specialised radio and TV channels. BBC programmes have no adverts in them, which makes for an improved experience.
    In the Republic of Ireland you pay €175 for a licence and have adverts as well.
    I guess in 10 years we will have individual subscriptions to different providers like Netflix etc but I see the BBC and Netflix are collaborating now.

    PS you might find the Neil Oliver programme on You Tube at some point.

    I have see the "Forged in Ulster" channel on YouTube which has both BBC and RTE programs related to the Ulster-Scots, but I don't know if they have permission to rebroadcast. (Probably not.) But they are quite good quality.
