The licence fee is £147 and you need to pay for it so that you can:

watch or record live TV programmes on any channel

download or watch any BBC programmes on iPlayer – live, catch up or on demand.

The fee you pay provides a wide range of TV, radio and online content, as well as developing new ways to deliver it to you. In addition to funding BBC programmes and services, a proportion of the licence fee contributes to the costs of rolling out broadband to the UK population and funding Welsh Language TV channel S4C and local TV channels.

The licence fee allows the BBC's UK services to remain free of advertisements and independent of shareholder and political interest.
