BBC To Charge U.S. Audiences For News
Imagine the BBC, a news company, is starting to charge people in the United States for their news for the first time.
They are going to charge $49.99 per year or $8.99 each month to see the news articles, special stories, and watch the news channel live, all the time.
The BBC wants to bring all their great content together in one place, and they are going to add more things for people who pay.
The BBC is doing this because they need more money, and they already make money from other services outside of the UK.
BBC is launching a paid news service for U.S. audiences for the first time.
The subscription will cost $49.99 annually or $8.99 monthly.
Subscribers will get access to news articles, features, and a 24/7 livestream of the BBC News channel.
The BBC stated the move aligns with a 'bold mission' announced over three years ago.
This move comes as CNN prepares to launch a new streaming service.
