Pay for this TV Station or you go to Jail

Abiola Lapite says it very clearly and sensibly. Simply substitute CBC for BBC throughout and the case is the same.

Lest you make too many assumptions, I actually make quite a significant contribution to funding TV Ontario, another largely government-run effort. Regrettably it is also a case, as Abiola quotes the inflaming article:
The rich and the old are keener on it than the poor and the young, who in effect subsidise the viewing and listening of more prosperous households

Of course this is little different from most other major government programmes.
