    Well it’s always useful to back our assumptions with actual numbers.

    If these trends continue it’s going to increase pressure on the BBCs licensing model I would guess.

      Given that the lisence covers iPlayer and their podcast output as well it seems like they’re already adapting.

        But iPlayer and BBC Sounds are just one more competitor in the streaming and podcast market.

        If enough people stop watching broadcast television, the argument to maintain the TV license disappears.
