Ahead of the renewal of the BBC’s Royal Charter, former BBC Director General Lord Tony Hall, ex-Sky COO and Chair of a number of Boards, Mike Darcey, Caroline Dinenage MP, Chair of the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee, and media economist Mark Oliver discuss the future of BBC funding.

Jake Kanter, Deadline's Investigations Editor, asks them to weigh the arguments and discuss the merits, or otherwise, of reform or replacement of the licence fee, the pros and cons of mutualisation (an idea supported by Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy), and interrogate which of these and other models represents the best case for maintaining the BBC’s independence, public purposes and role in the UK creative economy.
