The BBC and/or the Television Licensing authority were considering introducing a higher rate for digital, to pay for the BBC's investment in the new transmitters needed, but the proposals were abandoned. Is it still necessary, strictly speaking, to have a licence for a radio? I know that nobody does, but was the requirement ever actually repealed? |

Clue:- freeview Yeah but thats what the bbc are like telling you its free but not mention the extra license fee even though there isnt one I now know. the bbc is one long advert for how ****ing fantatstic it is, they put more effort into those trailers between programmmes than the programmes themselves, they cant justify the license fee anymore, its just eastenders and the latest **** they've put a former "actor" from eastenders into. thats why I dont wanna pay even more money :) theres a good reason you'd never see a soap actor again once they'd quit and it shows you how bad tv is now that theres so many of them still working, they deserve to spend the rest of their lives on the dole |

You might be right ... the licence fee history ... showing how much and when http://www.parliament.the-stationery...t/20410w78.htm (or http://tinyurl.com/sdpi for ease of use) ... the BBC version is at http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/key...cencefee.shtml The ability for the BBC to collect money from a radio licence was abolished in Feb 1971. I suspect that it was done by modifying the interpretations within the BBC Charter to limit it to Television only .. like this: "for general reception" means capable of being received at any place or places, or in any area, in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man and elsewhere free of charge and without payment other than such payment as may be required under the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 for a television licence or such other form of funding or payment for the Home Services as may from time to time be approved by Our Secretary of State; "Licence Revenue" means such sums as are collected by the Corporation in respect of the issue and renewal of television licences under section 1 of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949; from http://www.bbc.co.uk/info/policies/charter/ The charter refers to a specific section of the 1949 Act ... which has a part that allows for exemptions .. "Provided that the Postmaster General may by regulations exempt from the provisions of this subsection the establishment, installation or use of stations for wireless telegraphy or wireless telegraphy apparatus of such classes or descriptions as may be specified in the regulations, either absolutely or subject to such terms, provisions and limitations as may be so specified." from http://www.radio.gov.uk/topics/legis.../wtact1949.pdf So - someone somewhere musy have granted an exemption for "radio" reception ... your challenge is to find it ;- Yes - I couldn't get back to sleep ... |
