The Broadcasting Policy Group of media experts will recommend that the BBC should be funded by subscriptions instead of the licence fee, according to a report in the Financial Times. The groups says that that would be more equitable.
The licence fee that provides most of the media giant’s massive funding has to be paid by all TV owners whether or not they wish to view the BBC’s shows. A refusal to pay can result in a house search by the corporation?s enforcers and a magistrates court fine. People with a TV are also asked to allow their homes to be searched if they wish to stop harassment by the enforcers.
