The U.K. Culture Secretary, Nadine Dorries, has confirmed that the national TV license fee, which serves as the BBC's primary source of income, will be frozen at £159 per year for the next two years. It will then increase in line with inflation for the subsequent four years. Dorries announced plans to review the license fee funding model ahead of the BBC's next governing charter review in December 2027. The new settlement will be in effect from April 1, 2022, to March 31, 2028, providing the BBC with an estimated £23 billion in license fee funding over the duration of the settlement period.
