What is the BBC?

In: World War 2, TV Programming and Commercials, British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) [Edit categories]
    Answer:

    The BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) is the world's largest broadcaster.

    Unlike other broadcasters, it is a public service based quasi-autonomous statutory corporation run by the BBC Trust.

    It is funded yearly by a television licence (or licence fee) charged to all UK households which own a television, rather than being underwritten directly by the Government of the United Kingdom.

    Today, it has bases or correspondents in more than 200 countries and, as officially surveyed, is available to more than 274 million households, though also possibly far more individual persons and groups than surveys can gather, and it is the oldest surviving entity of its kind and is more widely known internationally than any other news organization. The BBC's reach is significantly more than CNN's estimated 200 million.
