Conservatives give BBC warning of licence fee freeze


The Conservatives are looking to freeze the prices of TV licence, which will save the consumer money. TV Licence cost about £145 a year, and the conservatives vow to keep that price the same, giving the consumer more money to spend on other things. Also, this will affect the BBC because they may have less money in real terms because of inflation and may not be able to give services the same services that they did before. 

By doing this, local newspapers will benefit as BBC news may have to go because it does not generate any money. This is a strategy to get news corp back more money, which they can intern invest in the conservative government.“Local newspapers are an important source of information for local communities and a vital part of a healthy democracy. To support them as they adapt to new technology and changing circumstances, we will consult on the introduction of a business rates relief for local newspapers in England.”
