A 'Netflix-style' BBC is possible, but 'would be very different'

THE BBC could be funded in future through Netflix-style subscription model instead of the licence fee, its director-general has said.

However, Lord Hall told MPs that this would deliver a “very different” BBC.

The licence fee model is guaranteed until at least 2027 after which the broadcaster will have to negotiate a new funding arrangement with the Government.

It comes amid controversy over the decision to scrap free TV licences for the majority of over-75s.

Giving evidence to Westminster’s digital, culture, media and sport select committee, Lord Hall said: “You could decide the BBC is a subscription service.

“It would be very, very different to the sort of BBC you have now, because you would be giving subscribers what they want, not the breadth of the population.

“I would argue that’s the wrong model for supporting the BBC.”
