BBC loses £1.34 million as more households cancel TV licence
Stay up to date with notifications from The IndependentNotifications can be managed in browser preferences.AllNewsSportCultureLifestyleBBC TV licences decreased by 540,000 in the last financial year, bringing the total to 23.3 million active licences. The decline is primarily attributed to fewer households consuming licensable content, with 3.7 million now stating they do not require a licence. Over the past decade, the number of active licences has fallen by more than 2.5 million, contributing to a £1.34 million (26 per cent) drop in licence fee income. BBC officials warn that the organisation's financial outlook has "deteriorated," making the current funding model unsustainable for its public service mission. The BBC is pursuing reforms to its funding model and aims to achieve £500 million in savings by 2028/29, with £160 million already planned.
