BBC worries about its Public Funding
that way.

BBC news, for example,
had sacked some High Paid workers
and presenters
to stay afloat.

[BBC licence fee 'unenforceable', says culture secretary
A woman, Lisa Nandy,

a black blazer and black top with a white thin strip
around the neckline]


[The culture secretary has said the
BBC's licence fee is "unenforceable"
and insisted "no options are off the table"
when the government begins a review into the
corporation's current funding model later this year.
In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Lisa Nandy
said there were "problems" with the
annual charge, with "fewer and fewer people"
paying the £174.50 fee.

The charter, which expires in 2027
and is under review, is an agreement between
the BBC and the government that sets out
the terms and purposes of the corporation - including
the existence of the licence fee.

A BBC spokeswoman said the broadcaster looks forward
to engaging with the government
and securing the long-term future of the BBC.]
