BBC WIll Have To Share Licence Fee With Rival Broadcaster

Our Comments

That is a tough decision imposed on the corporation but one which will mean that hundreds of jobs might be saved/created and a fragile ecosystem maintained. The £130 million fee collected only amounts to around 4 percent of the total revenues generated by the TV licence fee and this is set to decrease as the revenue increases over time.
