TV licence could be scrapped by 2027 – Households could save £159 | Personal Finance | Finance
Stephen Regan, the person who started the petition, warned that getting rid of the licence fee could have far-reaching consequences for the public broadcaster.
Mr Regan explained: “Unless we act the BBC as we know it will be destroyed, hidden behind a paywall, and only accessible to those who can afford it.
“Do we want this, or do we want the broadcaster to remain independent and handed down to future generations to enjoy? Do we want it to be broken into pieces and become a shell of its former self?
“The final licence fee will run out in 2027, we can’t afford to sit on our hands. The fight to save the BBC has begun, and it’s a fight we must win.
