The licence fee’s clock is ticking: Lisa Nandy’s BBC reform plan
- The BBC TV licence fee could be abolished by the end of 2027, relieving many Brits from a price increase next year as reported in the story headline.
- Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy is considering funding the BBC through general taxation and has confirmed a review of the corporation's governing charter will begin this year.
- A poll by YouGov found that only 36% of voters support abolishing the licence fee in favor of tax funding, while 49% are against it.
- Nandy believes the current funding model is not financially sustainable and has discussed transforming the BBC into a mutual organization with Keir Starmer, who is open to bold ideas.
