TV licence warning

Aug 12 2008 by Alison Lowson, Perthshire Advertiser Tuesday

TV LICENSING is urging both parents and students in Perth to swot up on the licensing requirements to ensure they don’t get hit with a hefty fine at the start of term.

TV Licensing research has shown that when it comes to bailing out their children financially, almost half ofparents (48%) would draw the lineat paying the fine if their childwas caught watching TV without alicence.

To help ensure the TV Licence does not slip off the “to-do list” in the run-up to the start of term, TV Licensinghas set up a handy pre-registration service, available from Thursday, August 14.

If students sign up online by visiting www.tvlicensing.co.uk/students2008 TV Licensing will get in touch once the autumn term has begun to remind them to buy a licence.

The website also features lots ofhelpful information about how to get a TV Licence and the different ways to pay.
