Households in North Wales could see the TV licence fee linked to property value under a new proposal
00:07
from the BBC. Instead of a flat charge, the broadcaster is exploring a system where payments
00:13
would be based on council tax bans. In counties like Gwynedd and Wrexham, the majority of homes
00:19
fall into bans A to C, meaning many residents could pay less under a means-tested model.
00:25
Average Bandi council tax in the region ranges from ÂŁ1,700 to over ÂŁ2,000 a year. Licence-fee
00:31
money helps fund services like BBC Radio Cymru and local news programming from Clandaf and Bangor.
00:37
The BBC says nine in ten adults in Wales use at least one of its services every week,
00:42
although North Wales has higher-than-average evasion rates. The plan is still in early
00:47
stages and would need approval from the UK government, along with public consultation.
00:52
No immediate changes are planned, but how we pay for public broadcasting may soon look very different.
