The broadcaster's chairman wants to scrap the flat £174.50 licence fee
00:12
and instead charge households based on property value linked to council tax bans.
00:17
In Cardiff, nearly 70% of homes are in bands A to C, meaning most would likely pay less under the new model.
00:24
Ban D council tax in the city averages just under £1,800 a year.

The BBC says around 89% of adults in Wales use its services each week,
00:34
with funding supporting local outlets like BBC Wales Today and BBC Radio Cymru.

Wales also has one of the highest licence fee evasion rates, estimated at over 10% in some parts.
00:46
Supporters say the new model could make payments fairer,
00:49
but any change would require government approval and public consultation.
