The Tories appear to be very keen to strip or even scrap the BBC licence fee altogether and only allow them to produce programmes which cannot be covered on commercials channels.

What are your views...
Tories right to make the Beeb stand on their own feet or have some sympathy for the national broadcaster?
Middle class families will be forced to pay more for the licence fee than poor households under plans for a Finnish-style means tested broadcasting levy to pay for the BBC.
John Whittingdale, the Culture Secretary, will today publish a green paper which will propose “root and branch reform” of the BBC as part of its royal charter renewal.
He will consider plans for a new means tested levy to be paid by better-off taxpayers based on their annual income – regardless of whether or not they own a television
