Nadine Dorries has hinted the TV licence could be axed as she said the government will find new ways of funding the BBC.
The Culture Secretary said the company’s funding model was “completely outdated” and decisions on any changes would be made “well ahead” of the BBC Charter renewal in 2027. The government, she said, is also looking at ways media watchdog Ofcom can “hold the BBC to account”
It comes as the licence fee faces an uncertain future, Wales Online reports. BBC director general has said he would rather produce less content than compromise on quality when considering funding cuts to the broadcaster.
