The British government announced thorough review of BBC ahead of charter renewal



The British government has set out its intention to conduct a thorough review of the operations of the BBC, the British Broadcasting Corporation, as the broadcaster negotiates the renewal of its charter in 2016. 

Culture Secretary John Whittingdale launched a consultation paper on the corporation's future with questions including how the BBC  is funded, whether its programmes cater for all tastes and if it stifles competition from other media. 

The paper will also investigate alternatives to the BBC licence fee, something every person with a television is forced to pay for whether they watch the BBC or not.

A public consultation will now follow.

Culture Secretary John Whittingdale told the British parliament that a debate is needed on the future of the broadcaster.
