    Worth bearing in mind that the BBC is not a free service.

    As it stands the BBC *can* be used as an entirely free service: The radio services and iPlayer catchup do not need any payment.

    That was my point, though I probably should have said "The BBC is not intended as a free service."

    BBC statements about viewer characteristics (such as age) may be based on their license-fee-holder database. CBeebie viewers and iPlayer-only viewers will not be on the database, but everyone over 75 probably is. Skews the results.

    That is about to change I suspect, from my info later this year early next, then everyone will need the licence. iPlayer is an anomaly that should never have happened - re: licence fee.
