Public Service Broadcasting in the Digital Age

A number of reviews of the BBC and public service broadcasting have been conducted recently. The issues of public service broadcasting, the licence fee and the governance of the BBC are all interlinked. Contestability of funding for public service broadcasting is desirable. Funding of public service broadcasting should be overseen by a body that is independent of the BBC. The funding should come from a progressively reduced licence fee as the BBC moves to a subscription service.
