Government Considering BBC Subscriptions
- The Guardian, Monday, July 20, 2015 8:29 AM
The BBC could be part-funded by subscriptions on top of a licence fee in the future, the culture secretary has said, stressing that every option would be open to discussion in the government’s forthcoming review of the corporation. John Whittingdale said such a funding model could not be introduced at present because there were no mechanisms available to switch off certain BBC channels to people who had not subscribed to them.
