    There is strong interest in local TV news services, especially in Wales, the South West, Scotland, and the North East. Crime, local events, and transportation updates are most appealing to viewers. When asked about new BBC responsibilities, responses were mixed. While some felt funding the World Service and S4C through the license fee was appropriate, others felt it was not or that it did not matter. Views were also split on using the license fee to fund universal broadband access.
