During the mid-1980s the Thatcher government initiated a review on financing of the BBC known as the Peacock Committee, the government had expected the committee to report that the television licensing fee used to fund the BBC should be scrapped only for the Peacock Committee to favor retaining the licence fee.
What if the Peacock Committee instead favoured the scrapping of the television licence fee used to fund the BBC and how would the latter be impacted by the loss of funds from the licence fee compared to OTL up to the present?
Would the BBC end up being privatized, funded by advertising (and possibly the occasional grant) like Channel 4 or funded by partnerships, joint ventures or mergers?
