BBC Faces Biggest Overhaul in Decade, May Lose Massive License Fee
Posted in: UncategorizedThe British Broadcasting Corp. may lose its income from license fees and have to rely on a subscription service as it faces its biggest shake-up in a decade.
Among options in the U.K. government’s review of the world’s biggest public broadcaster is the selling of BBC Worldwide, one of the organization’s biggest money-spinners. It will also be asked why it shows commercially driven programs such as “The Voice,” a Saturday-night talent show.
“We must consider whether the BBC should continue to try to be all things to all people,” U.K. Culture Secretary John Whittingdale told lawmakers Thursday in detailing the review.
