13 April 2012
The cost of a colour television licence will rise by £3 to £142.50 from 1 April.
Black-and-white only licences will go up by £1 from £47 to £48, it was confirmed today.
The current cost of a basic colour TV licence is £139.50.
The increase was being brought into effect by an order in the House of Commons today and follows the six-year BBC funding settlement which began in April 2007.
