Free Press has nothing to do with the price charged.
Of course the BBC get paid money for it's services, but rather paying for something when you want it. BBC gets it's money from tax revenue- everyone who pays the taxes is paying for it.
Of course, the commerical TV news is paid for by showing ads, and ads are annoying & the price you pay.
