Re: Scrap TV license fees?
From the bbc
Quote:
The BBC's royal charter will be renewed and its licence fee kept in place for at least another 10 years, a government Green Paper has confirmed.
Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell unveiled plans for the BBC's new charter, which sets its role, functions, funding and structure, in the paper on Wednesday.
The fee was still "the fairest way to fund the BBC", she told parliament.
And she said the BBC governors would be replaced by two bodies - a BBC Trust and an Executive Board.
HOW LICENCE FEE IS SPENT
Viewers pay just over £10 per month, which is spent in the following way:
£5 - terrestrial TV
£1 - digital
£1.20 - radio
£1.50 - local TV and radio
£0.30 - Online
£1 - transmission and collection of licence fee
