Richard Sharp describes model as ‘least worst’ option but says he will keep open mind about its future
The licence fee “may be worth reassessing” as the BBC’s future funding is decided, the corporation’s incoming chair has said, describing the model as the “least worst” option but saying he has an open mind about its future.
Richard Sharp, who has been chosen by the government as its preferred candidate for the post, told the Commons’ digital, culture, media and sport select committee that his current view was that the licence fee was “fit for purpose”.
