    Maybe the Brits have something with the television tax. I have no idea how you apply it to the modern streaming world, but it’s an interesting alternative

      You don’t even need license fees. NPR and PBS do terrific journalism and they frequently even make reports that make their corporate sponsors look bad while admitting that they are a corporate sponsor. They get a combination of corporate sponsorship funds, government grants and membership drives. And it works really well.

      It’s too bad more people don’t realize that or they would become members of their local public radio/TV station and it would get even better.
