if the change is approved, it could have a major impact on the bbc‘s finances. 0ur media editor amol rajane now? as you suggest, the view of the government is they should be a civil rather than criminal offence, rather than it being something that could send people to jail, this should be something where nonpayment is a bit like failing to pay a utility bill. the government have launched a public consultation and they feel the criminal sanction is unjust, it is too strong a sanction, and a waste of court time. the bbc responded by saying it is only about 396 responded by saying it is only about 3% of time that goes on the evasion of the licence fee and it could cost the corporation £200 million at a time when it is not hugely awash with cash. working out exactly how much it will cost the bbc is hard because there is a big change coming down the line injune when a lot of pensioners stop getting the fee licence. this morning baroness morgan, the culture secretary, put these changes in the context of not these changes in the context of not the ongoing skirmishes between the bbc and the rest o
