BBC licence fee update

Just as I m getting to 75 !!! I don’t receive any benefits but I only have a pension coming in but I saved for my old age when I was at work which I daren't dig into as I ve no idea what I ll need in a few years time
I do think it’s fair that people with a decent income pay for the licence but it doesn’t take into consideration the in-betweens
Ah well

I think the licence fee is for a having a receiver not watching BBC.

The tv licence finds the BBC but you have to buy one even if you never watch any BBC channel. I'm fuming because when you consider the fees that are paid to sports pundits and the multiple reporters on news programmes a huge amount. could be saved by cutting the numbers. Cut the numbers and cut their fees/ salaries first .

I too hope that free bus passes remain but if not, I'm happy to pay as long as people on reduced incomes are able to travel freely.

Thank you

Yes, you can listen to the radio without a licence.

I’ve been expecting it. I do hope Bus Passes remain as it is a great way to get older people out and about.

It's bound to go up in price too. Ah well, it was good while it lasted.

No, the fee includes radio and all mainstream tv channels.

Framilode, DH is 75 in August 2020!!

Kittye and, hopefully, prescription charges.

I don’t think the licence is for watching just the BBC is it?

Heating allowance and bus passes next!

*for when family come

I want to know how I can opt out as I never watch BBC. In fact I watch very little TV at all except on Yesterday, Channel 4 and Dave. I'm away from home a lot so it's not worth it for me, but I need a TV for family come -approximately 3 months per annum.

I'm OK with that - just a bit miffed that these changes always seem to happen just as we are due to receive the benefit

Brilliant Idea (sorry Nina)
