Dear Sir or Madam,

The BBC has conducted research on what would happen to its operations and to broadcasting in the UK if the BBC license fee were to be replaced with a subscription fee, including models of opt-in subscriptions per channel and per programme.

I would like to have access to the reports detailing the research and conclusions over the last 20 years.

Yours faithfully,

Tony Curzon Price
