Tim Davie says BBC facing £285m funding gap by 2027 and it is ‘not for one person to decide’ future model
The head of the BBC has insisted “it is not for one person to decide the funding model” of the corporation, in a swipe at the culture secretary, Nadine Dorries.
Dorries confirmed last week that the licence fee would be frozen for two years, remaining at £159 until April 2024, after which it would rise in line with inflation for four years. The announcement was made in a Sunday newspaper and on Twitter.
