Original Note:
The figures for 2023 showed 460,000 fewer licenses. We do not have more recent figures. https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/about/foi-licences-facts-and-figures-AB18 This is 1.9%, so not the mass rejection suggested. License counts change for various reasons. One given is a younger audience moving to Netflix and YouTube. https://www.theguardian.com/media/article/2024/jul/23/half-million-households-cancelled-bbc-licence-fee-last-year
