Responsible for tracking and measuring performance across the organisation. The BBC has five public purposes. Britain's government announced Wednesday that it is considering a change in the way the BBC is funded that would hit the coffers of the nation's public broadcaster.
Failing to pay can result in a fine or, in rare cases, a prison sentence. Its size and public funding annoy private-sector rivals, who argue the broadcaster has an unfair advantage. The relationship between Britain's government and the media has become increasingly frosty since Johnson became prime minister in July.

The government has said it is actively considering decriminalisation of the licence fee, an idea last floated five years ago when Sajid Javid was culture secretary.
This approach would downgrade non-payment to a civil debt, with enforcement made by TV Licensing through civil courts and enforced using bailiffs — similar to non-payment of an electricity bill.
In the long run, other European countries are shifting away from licence fees and towards funding public broadcasters through general taxation. This would leave BBC funding even more at the whim of the government of the day.
