that was the director general of the bbc tim davie. about reforming the licence fee, how?— the licence fee, how? that is the big question- _ the licence fee, how? that is the big question- a _ the licence fee, how? that is the big question. a consultation - the licence fee, how? that is thej big question. a consultation over the next couple of years, the issue behind all of this, how big should the bbc be and how are you going to pay for it and for most households in the uk, paying for the licence fee is part of life and about £ia per month, £169 and 50p from this coming april and if you have half £1 million or if you are on universal credit you pay exactly the same amount, so the question is, how fair is that, a flat tax effectively? so can they make it progressive, essentially, people who earn more, can they get them to pay more, so they will look at that as a potential solution to the fairness issue of the licence fee. behind all of this is an argument saying, yes, we want the licence fee to continue because a lot of people are sayi

the director—general tim davie today defended the bbc�*s role in public life, but signalled he is openent is fair and proportionate. a time traveller came to call... but as a recent deal with disney over doctor who shows, the licence fee can't pay for it all, and so there was also a commitment to more commercial deals. and you talked as well about boosting the bbc�*s commercial income. how do you plan to do that? is it the dr who disney model? yeah, we've actually got a very good record in the bbc of appropriately commercialising the bbc. so i'm not talking about advertising on uk services, or... that's never going to happen? not on my watch. i think we absolutely want to protect the bbc in what it is in the uk. to me, that's sacrosanct. but will that upset other commercial broadcasters? i don't think that the bbc's plans to double their commercial revenue are going to have any impact on the commercial sector. it's entirely driven by a demand for bbc expertise from studios, from streamers, and they're mostly in the usa — tim davie also announced a further £200 million of cuts to the bb
