The Licence Fee Is Best, Says BBC Boss

But director-general Tim Davie said: “I haven’t seen a model that beats the current one at the moment, a universally funded licence fee.”

The TV licence fee is guaranteed until the end of 2027, the end of the current charter.

Mr Davie said: “The vast majority of households think it offers very good value. That’s what the BBC needs to focus on. Under my leadership, we’ll focus on that.”

He told a virtual conference of regulator Ofcom that the broadcaster has more work to do to connect with all viewers.
