The BBC is possibly one of the most well recognized media outlets not only in Europe but the world. Its original programming and news on television and radio make up the largest broadcasting corporation in the world. It operates under as a public service to the United Kingdom, that is to say, it works to give something for everyone.
Unlike traditional broadcasting networks in the United States, the BBC earns its income via a licensing fee rather than through advertisers. Anyone who owns a television must pay this fee. The BBC has two television stations that are “free” along with multiple others on digital television. Along with its television stations, it owns multiple popular radio stations and broadcasts all of its transmission online via the BBC iPlayer.
The BBC has a very rich history to explore and an equally interesting future to look at. With the rise of viewing television on the internet along with competition with satellite providers, such as Sky, the future of the BBC is cloudy.
