[11.15 - French Time] The BBC Trust, the Corporation's governance and regulatory body, has today announced that the Beeb will freeze its £142.50 licence fee until 2013.The BBC is giving up a planned 2% increase in March next year and the chance of a smaller rise in 2012. The BBC Trust warned that it is likely to mean cuts in TV and radio programming budgets, as the freeze will take £144m out of the BBC budget and "will require some on-air changes", reports The Guardian this morning.
