The UK government has announced an increase in the BBC TV license fee from £159 to £169.50 starting April 2024. This decision comes after proposals for a £15 rise were criticized as excessive amid a cost of living crisis and growing public discontent. Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer defended the rise, while campaigners called for a means-tested system. The BBC is facing further cuts as a result of the lower-than-expected increase.
