The BBC licence fee could be scrapped and replaced by funding from taxation, under plans being considered by Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy.
The annual licence fee, which funds much of the broadcaster’s operations, faced years of scrutiny under the Conservative government.
It was frozen for two years at £159 before it was increased at a lower rate than the corporation expected.
Last month the Government announced that the fee will increase in line with inflation each year until 2027, rising in April to £174.50.
Talk’s Mike Graham discusses the story with campaign director at Defund the BBC Rebecca Ryan.
