Big events, such as the Queen's funeral and England football matches, mean public service broadcasters ITV and BBC still dominate the charts when it comes to the most-watched programmes - but generally, viewers are turning to other sources of entertainment.

      The OCR thing is simply there because it’s there from another stream of letters and the same template has been used.

      I’m always tickled pink working in local governance to see how certain procedures and policies simply continue because someone said ‘let’s do it this way’ and its stuck. Everyone is too busy dealing with the next thing, that the ‘it’s not broken, don’t fix it’ mantra prevails.

      If you tell them you don’t need a license they stop sending letters. I’ve never had this problem and I’ve not had a TV license at any time since I became an adult. I’ve only had to let them know when I’ve moved. No spam mail in ~15 years.

          You don’t need to write to them. You do it on their site. 3 minutes effort and no more letters. I’m in favour of abolishing the license fee but refusing to just let them know is a weird hill to die on.
