Considering the BBC as we know it will be changed by the end of the decade I thought I’d have a read of where the license fee actually goes.

Does seem like Wales gets a good deal if your a supporter of the Welsh language

on this subject!
strange comparison, the whole of the BBC with the NHS in just Wales that has about 5% of the UK population?
Why not compare the BBC with the operating costs of Netflix (which is massively higher)?
Also the majority of the money spent by the BBC is spent in this country, so will return to the exchequer eventually. I'm sure I read somewhere that each £1 of money spent on the BBC returns £10 to the economy or something stupid like that. And it is a very important "soft power" for the UK.
Really we should be looking to massively increase the BBC funding, so they are able to properly compete on the global stage with the Americans
The wages are eye watering , the bulging back staff numbers employed are eyewatering, the new posh building cost are eye watering , time to get this one off the tax payers back and allow it to become subscription .
Put all the money into healthcare.
Wages in the media are simply unreal. When I read that Gary Lineker earns £1.3m a year, for what is basically 90 minutes once a week, it's not that I don't believe it - it's that I can't see how they can justify it. And Zoe Ball is apparently on a similar amount, yet her radio show has been losing listeners since the day she took over. But at least she works five days a week.
The BBC also has a profound impact on the quality of other broadcasters output in the UK.
Do you think ITV would bother investing in producing quality dramas if the BBC output was diminished? they would quickly revert to cheaply made tv, the cheapest that can get enough viewers for their ads as possible.
Go and watch TV in France or Australia and you'll see how shite it will get
