Maintain the current method of funding the BBC.
Why is this important?
The BBC is rightly famous throughout the world for providing high quality televisual and radio programming.It is the last bastion of advertising free television and radio in the UK. Considering the broad range and high quality of programming produced the licence fee is remarkably cheap.
Despite criticism from several quarters it provides balanced reporting and commentary on news, politics and current affairs which contrasts favourably with other broadcasters.
There is scope for reform and modernisation of funding in the digital age but the basic concept of funding by licence fee should remain in place.
