The Public Service part of their TV operations could be put on one channel paid for by the government. The vast majority of the BBC’s content could be subscription only (or free with ads).

As Andrew said - you’re operating on assumptions. One of these is that ‘public service’ and ‘entertainment’ are somehow mutually exclusive concepts. They aren’t. “Educate, inform and entertain” *are* the BBC’s public service remit, and have been since 1922.
