Claire Enders was quoted in CITY A.M on "Nadine Dorries plays hard ball with BBC licence fee freeze"
18 January 2022Claire pointed to the technical complexities of a subscription system, and repeated an old adage that whilst the licence fee wasn’t perfect, it was “the least worst option” for the BBC. Looking at the institution itself, she said the BBC “has an authority and ethos that the world knows and understands”, and believes it is paradoxical that the Conservatives are looking to “undermine” it.
She added “Taking away the licence fee is tantamount to destroying the BBC.”
Abi Watson was mentioned in the Financial Times on "BBC output and services under threat from licence fee freeze"

Public service television: Something for everyone
17 January 2022There are just under eight million adults in the UK who only have access to free-to-air television, relying on it as a vital source of entertainment, information and company
These viewers watch much more television, and depend heavily upon the diversity and quality of content delivered by the BBC and other public service broadcasters
Without further support for PSB content in all genres, for all audiences, there is a risk of leaving millions of people out of ever-rarer shared cultural conversations, speeding up feedback loops of viewer decline, and losing the core public value in the ecosystem as a whole
