The BBC is nearly 100 years old. Will it survive the next decade?

The British Broadcasting Corporation is confronting unprecedented political hostility, looming threats to its funding, deep cuts to some services and ever increasing competition from digital platforms ahead of its centenary in 2022.The UK government, led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, has launched an investigation into the TV license fee that could lead to it being scrapped.

That will be the first year the license fee could be completely scrapped, an option government ministers have said they need to keep open.Lord Michael Grade, who was chair of the BBC Board of Governors from 2004 to 2006 and then chair and CEO of commercial rival ITV from 2007 to 2009, told CNN Business decriminalization of the license fee would be welcome, "but it's just not practical.

It’s just a target for huge investors now that. It lasted this long won’t be surprised when the name change

BBC has joined other main stream media like CNN, NYT, WSJ...and lost it neutrality. Even VOA should be dismissed.

PBS and BBC = people focused when for profit media are advertiser focused.

More importantly, will CNN?

The BBC is like the British Empire itself. I can't imagine it failing.

Will CNN survive ? Dont bother with BBC just look at your own backyard
