Sure, but how many of those are watching live to air ? As opposed to the witcher or whatever on a streamer ?

All my friends have TVs and most nights they’ll have something on, but it’s netflix, Disney+ etc.

I was the laggard on ditching the tv licence - I hadnt had an aerial in 10 years, but I paid it for access to the nonlive BBC stuff. After realising we never actually watched anything I asked around and most everyone responded that they’d ditched it, a few kept it for the occasional “event” programs.

It’s certainly not a valid poll (demographics of my pub mates varies on ethnicity but not so much on age and gender), so I appreciate it’s a loaded sample, but the near universal reaction was "you’re still paying a licence, really ? Why ?
