0:59Now PlayingThe BBC licence fee will rise by £10.50 next year.
The fee, which had been frozen at £159 two years ago, was expected to rise in line with inflation.
But Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer has said the predicted increase of £15 would be too much and is launching a review of the BBC's funding model.
