Yes in 2027 but a lot of things could change by then

Terribly sad to see the BBC under attack like this. Having lived abroad I really appreciate the scrutiny they provide that you don't get from commercial stations and the quality output.

DEFUND the 'ministry of truth' altogether!

A policy precisely no-one voted for at the last Election.

Great BBC we come to the real world

First BBC then the NHS, let's privatise Downing Street

Good riddance.

A lot of people have never watched American television and it shows. This is a big mistake.

Can we vow to abolish Number 10?

Like the way it vowed to support the Northern Powerhouse?

Hurry up GOVUK please. The BBCOne is utter useless to my life.

The assault on our national culture and democracy begins savethebbc

. . . and banning the broadcaster’s stars from having “second jobs”, it is claimed. I think this rule needs to be implemented in Parliamant tbh. What's the problem with Graham Norton writing a novel when our representivies in Government are making £££ in other areas?

they will never do it. They make to much money from bullying people

Mr Murdoch gets what Mr Murdoch wants.

Hip Hip Hooray

They are going to replace it with a tax!

A global institution is at the beck and call of Boris and Cummings. Dont let Andrew Neal interview me or anyone ask me questions I cannot answer and I will reek revenge

Why is everything changing for the worse.

Boom!

Broadcasting corporations have to stop acting like promoters to leftists and globalits powerful gangs.

👏👏👏

Let it sink or swim according to the market. If it’s as good as they constantly trumpet, they should have no problems attracting subscribers.

How do BBC documentaries get onto Netflix? Am guessing they SELL them?

All their toadying to the Tories hasn’t paid off. The BBCs bias in favour of the conservatives & Brexit has come to naught

About time its days are numbered.

Subscriptions - people's choice then.... Netflix also make some amazing programs and films which can be watched as and when the viewer wants...

DoodWBA

or die in a ditch?

Brilliant news....hope they fold.

This is just stupid! It will break independent journalism for the same reason, why bad paid police are more prone to corruption.

You love to see it.

Kinda makes sense tbh, once we're outside the EU we will no longer be subject to its digital media laws & as media provision is a natural monopoly there's no reason we cant collective bargain for entertainment as a nation to the benefit of all. Piracy for gaps, UK tradition lol

atm im slowly moving to tv streaming like netflix im glad there trying to scrap the tv licence

Why? How are people forgetting what the BBC actually does for the country? The incredible programmes it produces and people expect to get that for free?

2027 seems a heck of a long way off

Can’t they go a step further and abolish the BBC?

The BBC is unable to prevent the WOKE activists within their institution from influencing the production and editorial Output. It is time to end the BBCBias and scrap the TVtax The BBC should be moved to subscription service.

Loving the politicians priorities for this country.

Ah, a post Brexit Britain where all media is owned by non-domiciled kleptocrats. True to form for the Conservatives

*Giggles in IPTV*

Yet they increased it again this year?
