The BBC is a British public service cross-media broadcaster; it is the biggest broadcaster in the world with over 23,000 members of staff. The BBC has to broadcast to the UK mainland, Channel Islands and Isle of Man. The BBC has a duty to make programs that everyone likes and they also all have to be made in HD, as everyone pays the television license. The BBC also has to broadcast radio and has over 7 radio stations.
The BBC founded of the license fee, the license fee is an annual amount of £145.50 which is given to the BBC so they can make programs. There is strictly no advertising on the BBC as it can be classed as being biased. Also the BBC is allowed to be biased as it is a government run company.
I think that having a license fee is a good thing, because it gives the BBC the money to make top quality British programming. It also makes a lot more jobs available for cameramen, actors and other jobs to do with filming. But also on the other side, TV stations live the ITV make programs that are just as good and they are free so is it really worth paying a license fee for TV that isn’t even as good as one of its free rivals?
