That's not most of our channels. (compare: Sky 1, Sky 2, Sky Atlantic, Sky Poker, Sky Living, Sky Arts1, Sky Arts2 Sky Living it, Sky News, a couple dozen Sky Movies channels, Sky Sports 1-4, Sky Sports News, Sky Sports F1)
WHAT?!?
You forgot Dave??!! And QVC!!
And, more seriously, there is Channel 4, Channel 5, ITV1, ITV2, ITV3, ITV4, Yesterday, More 4, Home, E4, 5*, and many more that I CBA to list.
I am starting to think that CrashFrog thinks that the UK still has Bobbies and Bowler hats.

Broadcast TV, guys. Slow your roll.
Yes. Broadcast.
All the channels I listed are free to all without satellite or cable.
The terrestrial channels Mod mentions in the post above have been turned off.
All TV channels are now digital - and can be received using any TV aerial.
Put simply: you are completely wrong about the channels broadcast in the UK.
There are many that aren't run by the BBC - and the BBC is not run by the government.

The government runs most of your channels on broadcast TV.
This is completely and utterly wrong.

From:Television licence - Wikipedia
Your link doesn't think that the BBC is run by the government - so I am wondering why you posted it.
Perhaps you misunderstood what it said.
I expect you would have liked to have linked to a wiki article describing how the government runs the BBC - but you were unable to due to one not existing.

So let's see, you say the BBC is not run by the gov't, but it is inforcing a gov't tax, is funded by a tax, and is picking up/identifying people for a criminal offence.
The BBC is not run by the government.
If it was, then you could have shown that it was.
Instead you describe how it is funded.
Oxfam is funded by the public - therefore it is run by the public? No.
And the BBC is not run by the government.

Your attempt to refute this statement has been completely undermined by it being true.
