THE chairman of the BBC has warned that CBeebies and other specialist channels could be at risk of being axed if the licence fee is scrapped.

Sir David Clementi is set to warn against replacing the fee with a Netflix-style subscription model.

He will say putting the BBC behind a paywall would lead to it no longer being the public service the nation ‘knows and values’.
