The Culture Secretary has provided an update on the funding of the BBC, setting out how the government will review alternate funding options to secure the broadcaster’s long-term sustainability, while providing it with funding certainty for the remainder of the current Charter period.
  • Ministers to review the BBC’s Charter to examine the BBC’s future funding
  • Licence fee to rise in line with annual CPI inflation in 2025 to provide the BBC with stable financial footing
  • Thousands more households to be offered support to pay TV licence fee

    There are only two actions that require a TV license:

    • Using BBC iPlayer for any reason
    • Watching live broadcast TV from any source

    YouTube does not have a broadcasting licence (granted by Ofcom) so YouTube live streams do not count as broadcast TV.

    At least I’m pretty sure that’s how that works
