A parliamentary committee has recommended that the BBC's charter renewal be scrapped and the licence fee extended beyond television, according to a new report on the corporation's future. The report also criticised the BBC for spending too much on programmes like Meghan's US drama Suits, Schitt's Creek and Scooby Doo, telling it to end 'illogical practices' and use the licence fee better. MPs also said the corporation needed to be more independent from political interference.
