These are the two biggest broadcasters in the UK.
Other stations like Dave, Living, XXXHot, Comedy Central etc. Don't even come close.
Get rid of the BBC and you will lose a shit load of quality shows.
If you can't afford £12 a month to watch ad free TV I feel sorry for you.

I can afford it.
I could afford to pay £40pm to Sky should I want to. As I do not want to watch Sky I do not pay for it. That is my right. Its democracy or a product/service.
If you do not drive, you do not pay the road tax. You may as well say that none drivers should also pay a road fund tax too.
Again, did I say get rid of the BBC? No.
I stated it should be private. Is that a problem? Do you not understand that outside the UK they have adverts on there BBC stations? Do you not understand that they sell TV shows to other stations.
By the way, even if the BBC was to go, do people not understand that MOST BBC shows are not made by the BBC but production firms, who also make shows for other stations.
Let me give you an example. Cosgrove Hall Films made Andy Pandy for the BBC and also Chorlton and the Wheelies for ITV. Thats how BBC operates, they buy shows. Some they make, but the bulk they buy. Top Gear is only just been sold (not fully) to the BBC [

Again, who said to scrap the BBC? Not me.
