In principle, if you think the BBC is not good value for your money you can choose not to renew the license the following year. It does not appeal to all demographics. Unfortunately, there is a sytem set up to dissuade you from ever taking that step (not having a license), supported by legislation.
If you are unlikely to give up the licence, then the BBC are unlikely to have the strongest incentive to provide good efficient value for money.
The technology exists to exclude unlicensed receivers from receiving the BBC, especially with the switch to digital. It is a matter of implementing it. However, for the BBC this would amount to waiving the system that pressures people to pay them huge salaries, and with falling subscribers they would return to being a lean news broadcaster.
Perhaps, the BBC World Service (radio) could be supported by a small tax in its present format with regular local/national news bulletins and also with programming of wider interest, with the fee being strictly for BBC TV and not other channels. The world service would be unlocked for all on digital TV.
This would keep the highly valued public service and allow the BBC to continue its profit making but on fairer grounds.
