Category: BBC — the BBC, officially the British Broadcasting Corporation from the United Kingdom (UK), is the worlds' oldest and largest public broadcasting service, and arguably the greatest and the best! Often called the 'Beeb' (emanating from the spoken acronym 'Bee Bee Cee'), an informally known within the UK broadcast industry as the 'Corporation', the BBC is governed by a British Royal Charter. It is non-commercial (meaning it does not carry advertising on any of its UK broadcast platforms and services, and therefore receives no revenue from advertising), and its broadcasting services in the UK (television and radio) are funded by way of a Television Licence - aka the 'TV Licence' (whereby every UK household (or business) which has any equipment capable of receiving a television signal {so not just a conventional television set, but now also any kind of cable or satellite tuner/decoder, computer, gaming console, or smartphone which is capable of connecting to the internet} must possess a valid TV Licence).

The BBC also operates and maintains one of the world's largest internet sites; found at www.BBC.co.uk in the United Kingdom, and mirrored at www.BBC.com globally.

The BBC does have commercial subsidiary operations; such as 'BBC World' (which sells its own films and television programmes such as Top Gear, Doctor Who, Strictly Come Dancing, The Weakest Link, etc, to other countries for profit), and also publishes a variety of consumer magazines for sale.
