Television License

A television license is a mandatory fee paid by individuals or households who watch or record live TV broadcasts or use BBC services. It funds public broadcasting, ensuring content like news, entertainment, and educational programs are available to all. In most regions, owning a TV or device capable of receiving live broadcasts requires this license, regardless of whether you watch TV through traditional channels, online streaming, or devices like computers and tablets. The fee helps support the operational costs of the public broadcaster, maintaining a diverse and impartial media service.
