BBC License Sales Surge Amid Funding Shifts | Leeds News

With over half a million fewer license payers in just one year and the full price now at £180, the BBC is highlighting discounts: free licenses for those 75+ on Pension Credit, 50% off for registered blind individuals or those living with them, and just £7.50 for residents in care homes meeting eligibility. All part of a wider debate on how to fund the BBC as TV consumption evolves. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
