Rejected petition Scrap plans to charge students for the use of Online Catch-Up Tv
Rejected on
The Government have decided to change the TV licensing rules so that students will have to pay the £145.50 TV license in order to carry on watching BBC iPlayer Catch Up services. I believe this isn't right, this should be stopped or at least the TV license price should be lowered.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
It's not clear whether you want everyone to be able to watch the iPlayer without a TV licence, or whether you would like a specific exemption for students.
You could start a new petition asking clearly for the specific action you want.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
