MPs recommend BBC charter renewal is scrapped and licence fee is extended beyond TV
An parliamentary committee has published a new report as debate about the BBC's future continues.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets lead on MPs recommending changes to the BBC funding model, with Sky News foregrounding that the licence fee should be cut and no longer linked to TV, and BBC News foregrounding the committee’s broader report on the BBC’s future. BBC News is the only outlet here to mention the report in the context of debate about the BBC’s future, while Sky News is the only one to spell out the price drop and the removal of the TV link.
