Britons might soon face paying over £1,000 annually for TV due to proposed changes in the BBC licence fee system. The UK government is considering extending the fee to cover streaming services like Netflix and Disney+. Currently, ad-free streaming costs £881 a year, but adding the licence fee could push it to £1,050.50. This potential change is driven by half a million households canceling TV licences in 2023. Public backlash has been strong, with many arguing the fee is outdated and unfair. The BBC aims to secure its funding amid rising media landscape challenges.
