The costs assigned to support switchover will be less than 20% of the total proposed increase in the licence fee.

Digital UK welcomes the BBC's support. Switchover is a monumental challenge, and requires a properly funded organisation (Digital UK) to manage it. The proposed funding will help to make its implementation as smooth as possible, and help to ensure that viewers are properly advised and reassured about switchover. With the BBC's support, switchover will ensure that the UK will enjoy a digital future of increased choice and high-quality programming.
