The BBC Charter Review consultation received over 192,000 responses and found the majority of respondents did not want to see a change in the way that the BBC is funded: 60% thought the current licence fee model did not need to be changed.</p><p>As a result, the government has committed to maintain the current licence fee funding model for the duration of this eleven year Charter period, until 2027.</p><p>However, as the Secretary of State has said, due to the changing landscape of the broadcasting sector and viewing trends, it is time to begin asking serious questions about the long-term funding model of the BBC. The Government will therefore undertake a review of the overall licence fee model and those discussions will begin shortly.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 03/02/2022 08:59:58 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez
