The BBC says around 1.5million households are eligible for free licences due to getting pension credit and being over 75, but only 450,000 have so far applied. It claims the scheme would cost it £745million, which in practice would have meant the closures of BBC Two, BBC Four, the BBC News channel, the BBC Scotland channel, BBC Radio 5 Live, and a number of local radio stations.hundreds of thousands of signaturesBBC chairman, Sir David Clementi, said: “The decision to commence the new scheme in August has not been easy... The BBC could not continue delaying the scheme without impacting on programmes and services.

All I watch is Corrie or Kodi. Why the fuck should I pay a license fee. Get rid.

They charge people to watch digital TV over the antenna? I thought it was free all around the world!

Pathetic

Who the fook watches TV nowadays..Get rid .you'll feel a lot happier for it .I am .

Its wrong!

Scumbags!

I used to think the BBC licence fee was good value for money. (You'll note my use of the imperfect tense).

BBC confirms today, that the deaf, dumb and blind, will still continue to pay their TV licence fee.

I cancelled my TV licence. DefundTheBBC

Good so they should it will cruel if they started charging over 75s for the fee and we are the only country to pay for the license its free all over the world so we pay for it and the world gets it for free

Still have time to undo the brain-washing inflicted upon them all these years.

DefundTheBBC No one should be compelled by law to pay for this 3rd rate broadcasting organisation and their dreary woke miserablist political agenda. BorisJohnson set your people free!

Scrap the licence fee!

Disgusting, no one should have to pay it cos the channel is crap, but especially the over 75’s
