The British Broadcasting Corporation
The BBC is based at Broadcasting House in London, although it has studios in many other parts on the country. A board of governors appointed by the government controls the BBC, but once appointed this board has complete freedom and the government cannot interfere. Everyone who owns or rents a television set has to pay a yearly license. There is no advertising on BBC radio or television, and it is from the sale of licenses that the BBC gets most of its money.

There are four radio channels, each of which « specializes». Radio 1 has mainly pop music; Radio 2 has light music, comedy, sport; Radio 3 has classical and twentieth century music, talks on serious subjects, plays ancient and modern. Radio 4 specializes in the spoken word-the main news reports, talks and discussions, plays, etc. In addition the BBC has local radio stations in many cities and districts. The BBC also broadcasts news and information about Britain to countries all over the world. This World Service provides programs in forty different languages, as well as English.
