"We welcome the publication of the government's green paper and the start of the public consultation on the future of the BBC. We urge everyone who cares about the success of the UK's world-leading creative industries to have their say. At the BBC, we want change, so we can continue to deliver for the UK for generations to come. We want to secure a public service BBC that is independent, sustainably funded for the long term, and meets our audience's needs."
"The BBC is fundamental to the health of our nation and we want to make sure that we put it on a firm footing for decades to come. We're asking everybody to get involved and play their part in helping to shape its future."
"the most encouraging start of a charter process in decades, with the government apparently committed to giving the BBC a sustained and financially sustainable future"
A government green paper has launched a public consultation to renew the BBC charter, which expires in 2027, aiming to future-proof the corporation and bolster trust. The process seeks to place the BBC on a sustainable financial footing and secure a public service that remains independent and responsive to audience needs. The licence fee generated 3.8 billion last year. Potential funding options under consideration include advertising, subscriptions, and fee reform such as charging wealthier people more, while general taxation has been ruled out as a funding option.
