Money raised from the licence fee pays for BBC shows and services - including TV, the BBC website, podcasts, iPlayer, apps, as well as radio.
The talks follow Culture Minister Sir Chris Bryant's statement that he wanted the BBC licence fee to continue to support a “massive production budget” for UK-produced TV shows and films.
Under new proposals, households that only use streaming services like Netflix might also be required to pay the TV licence fee.
According to Jay Hunt, chairperson of the British Film Institute (BFI), British public service broadcasters (PSBs) can effectively cohabit with streaming behemoths like Netflix and Apple TV Plus.
The BBC TV licence fee is set to increase by £5 to £174.50 per year on April 1.
