The BBC is the largest broadcasting organisation in the world and is a public service broadcaster, established by a Royal Charter and funded by the licence fee that is paid by UK households. It was founded on 18th October 1922. The BBC uses the income from the licence fee to provide services including 8 national TV channels plus regional programming, 10 national radio stations, 40 local radio stations and an extensive website. BBC World Service broadcasts to the world on radio, on TV and online, providing news and information in 32 languages. It is funded by a government grant, not from the licence fee. The BBC also has a commercial arm, BBC Worldwide. Its profits are returned to the BBC for investment in new programming and services. It's headquarters are based in London but the area it serves is worldwide. The BBC has diversified into many different things such as the internet, radio, nes, television and interactive television. The BBC cannot do any form of advertising either as it is a Public Service Boradcaster. They also can't make any judgment or be biased towards any political parties.
