British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is looking into whether to continue a licensing fee that funds the majority of the budget for the British Broadcasting Corporation.
Treasury official Rishi Sunak said Sunday that the prime minister requested a review of the license fee that costs British viewers $206 a year. The licensing fee currently accounts for 75% of the company's budget. Johnson said before the country's recent election, "You have to ask yourself whether that kind of approach to funding a TV, a media organization still makes sense in the long term."
The BBC faced criticism of bias from both Conservatives and Labour Party supporters. The broadcaster hit back at criticism itself, saying it upheld requirements to stay nonpartisan.
