[Council tax levy
could replace TV licence fee in future funding model]


[The TV licence fee could be abolished
and replaced with a new levy on council tax bills,
according to a House of Lords committee
that looked at the best way to fund
the BBC in the future.
Under the proposal, all households would
pay for the BBC through their
local authority bill,
with low-earning families paying less
for the broadcaster’s services.
This would end the traditional link
to owning a television set and ensure
that people who only use the
BBC’s online or radio services
also have to pay to use them.

“We see quite a lot of potential advantages to it,
” said the Conservative peer Tina Stowell,
who chairs the cross-party House of Lords
communications and digital committee.]
