Yes, if they offer a "news only subscription" at a reasonable price I would buy it.

I literally watch 0 British TV apart from the news.

I wish they would block iPlayer if you don't have a TV licence.

I personally haven't had a TV antenna or dish attached to my TV for years.

Most of my entertainment is YouTube!

It's not totally blocked but you do need a license for iPlayer legally. I wish they'd let me tie my license to my account so it stops making me answer whether I've got one.

Clicking yes == not blocked at all.
