From next year the existing TV and radio licence fee is to be replaced by a new audio-visual charge. This would be compulsory for all households (with some exceptions), irrespective of whether they actually have a radio or a TV. The charge is to be added to the electricity bill, which will facilitate its collection. From the responses of those asked, it appears that one third (35%) of Poles are in favour of replacing the current TV and radio licence with an audio-visual charge, while six out of ten (60%) are against. Attitudes to introducing the audio-visual charge in place of the licence fee are currently a little less positive than three years ago, when people were first asked about the change.
