Would YOU pay the BBC licence fee if broadcaster starts showing TV adverts? VOTE NOW

THE BBC could start showing adverts under proposals Lisa Nandy is looking to put to the broadcaster at next week’s review.

The Culture Secretary’s other options include upping the fee for wealthier families or offering a subscription model, reports The Telegraph.

The adverts would supplement the rapidly falling number of licence fee payers as many families opt to pay for streaming services like Netflix instead.

Last year 300,000 households stopped paying the licence and a further million is are expected to stop before the next election.

As the licence fee is expected to rise to £180 next year following inflation, would you keep paying if your favourite programmes were interrupted with ads?
