The BBC licence fee is forecast to rise from £180 to £202.60 by 2031, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility. The watchdog expects the number of households paying to fall by 2.7 million over five years to 19 million, as viewers drift to streaming services. Ministers are reviewing how the BBC is funded before its charter ends next year, with proposals expected before Christmas.
