In an alternative universe, the BBC still exists but is now commercially funded, meaning BBC1 and BBC2 join ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 in showing adverts during and in between programmes
0:00 "No choice" They could make ads, or they could charge people who use their services. Although, I'm sure the BBC would do this first, in an attempt to convince the public that the TV licence is really necessary.
or just either try to convince the government for more funding (with some very sneaky political meddling, which is sadly the only way i think can work) or wait for the next general election (in which labour would definitely win)
I'd play the "slow" Anthem, in its final moments, makes it sound like it's really dying and it's no fluke. And say something like "We regret to announce the imminent closure of the British Broadcasting Corporation".
This would never happen. They might close some services, but if the licence fee was scrapped, the BBC would become a commercial broadcaster and start showing adverts, like they already do in other countries outside the UK, and on UKTV in the UK
One of two things will happen. 1) BBC goes commercial, like ITV, 4, and 5 before it, or 2) A permanent tax will be levied on the entire population to pay for it.
The only reason it is the nation's oldest broadcaster is because for its first 51 years of its existence, no competition ( apart from Radio Luxembourg) was allowed to be broadcast in the UK.
I believe the BBC will outlive Television and Radio as we know them, due to the importance and recognition it has acquired globally. On top of that, broadcast television and radio are massive hindrances on the electromagnetic spectrum, hogging up valuable bands with rather inefficient and often rubbish usage. But this is a great mock of how this hypothetical would go!
imagine they straight up returned the next day because they were just April fooling us 💀 because they closed down at midnight on the 31st of march meaning it would be the start of April Fools Day.
As bad as the BBC is at the moment, I would never wish it to be sold off. Any selling will inevitably mean selling and increasing the influence of the rich and already powerful! Reform it
If Sky owned Doctor Who: There will be Sky News reports instead of BBC News reports. The CGI will be a bit better. It will be harder to get the Cast and production team.
A closedown won’t be surprising for years to come, but of the decline of TV broadcasting. Even if an event like this happens though, BBC will live on as an iconic brand for years to come.
I sort of think a national broadcaster publicly funded is important during a time of mass misinformation. News/entertainment without the interference of appealing to advertisers agenda is needed.
Or I'd do it Greek style and have a government minister announce the closure themself, out of the blue..But that broadcaster reopened two years later so....

well, if it ever happend, i definately would'nt care tuppence about it, because i don't even watch TV these days!, just videos on you tube. im more of a music person! anyway, why can't they just accept ads, like everyone else?!?
@mike_mcgb What are you talking about it 'ended in disaster'? RTE has always been part funded by advertising. Their channels today are structured the same as they were in the 90s.
You could outsource News and Current Affairs to GB News to save money, then brand it "The News At Ten from GB News" then you could have Farage instead of NewsNight. Should be good.
It's an interesting prospect, and not badly done with the visuals - but going from the first terrible quality recording, to the final close-down read by a better audio quality, but absolutely AWFUL AI voice totally ruined the whole video for me I'm afraid. There are plenty of voice actors around places like Fiverrr, or even on here, who would provide high quality, authentic voicework. Sorry to be critical; but I hope you find it in the spirit it was meant; constructive opinion!
@@OtakuLogan2017 totally understand. My only point is the visuals are actually really compelling - but the audio isn't and that leads to a big disconnect.... Not as big as the Beeb shutting down in 4y from now. Wonder if you're actually accurate.
If Disney owned Doctor Who: There will be DLife Breaking Bits and FOX News reports instead of BBC News reports. The CGI will be a bit better. It will be harder to get the Cast and production team.
This may be a mock, i feel people should listen to the BBC bleed without funding tv and radio would not be able to continue to broadcast without the licences fee. it may be an old model for way for people to pay the tv licence fee if they want to watch BBC tv and Radio in their own homes. You have to pay the tv licence it the law, BBC will never go commerical as their not enough advertising to go round, So be careful what you wish for people by scrapping the tv licence this may come true.
Fake. Governments and businesses alike go to major lengths to make sure nothing major "begins" or "ends" at midnight on March 31st. This is because that would mean "starting" or "ending" on April 1st... ...APRIL FOOLS DAY.

In Eire, if I'm not mistaken, RTE is funded by a mixture of licensing and commercials. Maybe that's an idea for the BBC in future?
Maybe
UK is a big enough market for a commercial version of the BBC to survive exclusively on advertising revenue.
One of two things will happen. 1) BBC goes commercial, like ITV, 4, and 5 before it, or 2) A permanent tax will be levied on the entire population to pay for it.

There will be Sky News reports instead of BBC News reports.

Wouldn’t they just decide to play ads instead?
They could've privatized it, but instead the UK being the UK they chose the nuclear option, a total shutdown.
They could but the licence fee is cheaper, people pay more for ITV etc every time they go to the shops and buy something that is advertised.
