The BBC
The BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) was founded by a man called Lord Reith (John Charles Walsham Reith) .
It first started as a radio company, they got their first broadcasting place in 1932. It was one of the only two in Europe at that time.
They started in television in 1936 but had to stop when the second world war started. In 1946 they started broadcasting children's television and then in 1967 they had introduced colour television.
Since then we have developed over time with loads of range of media that has come from the BBC, we even have television on demand online from the BBC.
Channels:
The BBC does not show advertisements unless it's government adverts (like showing people how they had to switch from analog to digital TV) or advertising other BBC shows. However in some BBC television shows they've introduced product placement, which is when you place a well known product in a show so that everyone can see it.
The purpose of the BBC is to inform, entertain and educate. They entertain by having tv shows, like The Office or Young, Dumb and Living off mum. They inform by showing the news, 24 hours a day on BBC News and 3 times a day on BBC 1. And educate by showing documentaries and having revision material on their website
The BBC gets its funding by license fees which everyone with a TV has to pay, it's called a TV license. This means that the BBC has to be unbias and show both sides to every story, as it's technically run by the people and government so it can't be seen to be supporting a particular side to something.
The key areas that the BBC operates in mainly Britain. However the BBC also has been broadcasted in other countries like Australia and America.
But the BBC has it's faults. It has been involved with a few scandals that make people and newspapers (mainly the Daily Mail) angry because we're paying for it so it has to be perfect all the time. The biggest scandal has been with Jimmy Saville, the children's TV presenter who sexually abused hundreds of children and nothing was done about.
