BBC Funding Blow: Annual Licence Fee Could Be Frozen For At Least Two Years
looks set to have its funding frozen for the next two years in a major blow to the corporation’s ability to compete with the big players. the fee is likely to stop rising with inflation from next year for at least the next 24 months as the BBC and government remain in the trenches negotiating over its sum from now until 2027.
Super-inflation continues to impact genres such as drama, comedy and documentaries and in order to compete the BBC is having to co-produce or seek deficit financing for more and more of its content.
