The BBC was founded(建立) in 1922, including radio and television services, based at Broadcasting (廣播) House in London.

The BBC is controlled(控制) by some governors(管理人員) sent by the government but these people have complete freedom and the government can’t interfere(干涉). That is, the BBC is not the mouthpiece (代言人) of the government. It has to be as fair as possible in giving radio and television time to, for example, political parties and religious (宗教) groups.

There is a kind of interesting service in Britain----rental services. Many people prefer to rent (pay money regularly for the use of) their television sets instead of buying them.

The rent for a black-and-white TV set is about 80 pence a week (1980). The rent of a color set is more than twice that of a black-and-white set. If the sets go wrong, people can have them repaired free of charge or replaced (take the place of) immediately.

Everyone who owns to rent a television set has to pay a yearly licence. There is no advertising on BBC radio or television. It is from the sale of licence that the BBC gets most of its money. A licence for a black-and-white set costs £ 18, and for a color set £ 18 a year.

There are four specialized radio channels, which broadcast different kinds of programs. Radio 1 is mainly pop music. Radio 2 deals with light music, sport and other programs. Radio 3 broadcasts serious music, talks on serious subjects, etc. News broadcasts are mainly given by Radio 4.

There are special programs for Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and certain parts of England. The BBC also broadcasts as well as in English to all parts of the world.
