"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

The increase was calculated using the consumer price index (CPI) and will remain the method through the BBC Charter Period ending December 2027. A TV licence is legally required to watch or record live broadcasts and BBC iPlayer, with exemptions for some pension credit recipients and people aged 75 or older. Streaming live sports also requires a licence. The BBC received £3.66 billion from the licence fee in 2023/24.
