[Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries today confirmed the BBC licence fee will be frozen at £159 for the next two years, as she also announced a review into the long-term future of the annual levy] [She said: 'The BBC wanted the fee to rise to over £180 by the end of this settlement. Instead it will remain fixed at £159 until April 2024.] Labour would allow the Rise. Last edited by arista; 17-01-2022 at 05:26 PM. |

my country's national channels had a license fee too for quite a long while tbh but not anymore for over 25 years now
our new ways of funding is quite simple for NPO (AVROTROS, NOS, ZAPP) we broadcast so called STER adverts before and after each show, but we made a deal not to get ad breaks between shows (only exception is sports shows but that is pretty easy to have a ad break when there is a break in the sports event anyway) think something like this would also work for BBC, because the main problem i have with ad breaks is if they are between shows (I HATE THAT) i can understand people who are against this license fee, and yes some of their presenters are a bit paid too much, not even in my country they are being paid too much (those presenters salaries can be adjusted a lot, and they can do extra work by appearing in some of the ads) but BBC has quite a lot of successes in both drama shows and reality shows drama series successes - Line of Duty - Vigil - Bodyguard quite some of the drama mini-series are also of very high quality and with lots of great acting stars in them as well ------- reality show successes - Strictly Come Dancing (still millions of viewers tuning in to regular series and christmas special shows) - The Wheel (also quite nice, and Michael McIntyre does a fantastic job and also good quality celeb experts featuring in it) upcoming reality show - The Traitors i also expect something from your version, i myself am addicted to ours, such a strong concept game show, really gets you obsessed with if they make the right choices in unmasking a traitor or if the traitors make the right choices to remove the strongest faithful contestants |

[David Dimbleby, 83, says the BBC licence fee
could be linked to council tax Ex-Question Time host says it is 'inequitable' to charge a flat annual rate of £159 He told BBC Radio 4's World At One that a fee tied to council tax would be fairer Journalist also admitted BBC needs to do more to 'lockstep' with British public] https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...inked-tax.html Another Idea/ |

I've been thinking of cancelling the TV licence - not for any ideological reason, but just to save money.
Quote:
I basically never watch live TV now, and you don't need a licence for the BBC News, Sport and Weather apps which I use. I watch quite a lot of YouTube and Twitch though, and it is not clear if you need a licence if you want to watch those live. I know that if, say, you watch Sky News on YouTube you are required to have a TV licence but does that apply to other YouTube and Twitch channels? Quote:

[What about BBC iPlayer?
You also need to be covered to download or watch BBC programmes on BBC iPlayer – live, catch up or on demand. This applies to any device and provider you use.] Catch up is no longer free on the BBC. And Twitch is owned by Amazon USA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitch_(service) [I only watch non-UK channels, do I need a licence? Yes, you need a TV Licence to watch any TV channels live (broadcast or online), even if these are from outside the UK. This applies no matter what device you’re using.] Last edited by arista; 07-04-2022 at 10:16 AM. |

All hail the Moyesiah

I think it would be very difficult to not use anything that is covered by a TV license
Just read that it's less than a third of the price if you have a black and white TV which is rather quaint |

About the only thing I would want to see that is covered is the World Cup this year. But then I could get a licence then, and cancel it afterwards.

I've realised that if I ever subscribed to a live TV service eg. Sky Sports I would need a licence again so maybe I won't cancel it.

[BBC to cut number of programmes it makes,
says director general [The BBC will cut the number of programmes it makes and consider turning more television and radio stations into archive services, according to the corporation’s director general. Tim Davie is preparing to announce deep cuts to BBC output in the coming weeks, with staff nervously wondering whether their programmes or channels will be axed. The corporation estimates it needs to find another £285m in annual savings as a result of government-imposed cuts to its budget. Davie said the era of the BBC trying to do “everything with every service” was no longer viable because it ended up spreading itself “too thin”. Speculation has been rife within the BBC that entire channels could be taken off air to meet financial targets. Davie suggested that while the media loved to talk about the BBC taking channels off air, real savings came from simply reducing the spending on a channel’s content.] [He said his focus was on maximising the value the BBC’s licence fee payers got for their £13 a month. “We’re not trying to be Netflix, we’re going to be highly distinctive and of the highest quality.”] https://www.theguardian.com/media/20...rector-general Last edited by arista; 28-04-2022 at 02:18 PM. |
