The BBC is part of the public sector, but a lot of their work is outsourced to the private sector. The reason that the BBC is in the public sector is the fact that 75% of it is payed for by us in the form of a tax on anyone that owns a television and pays for a TV license.]]> 2018-06-25 10:34:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sharky2/hu6f7ne7k1cp/wish/268445774 sharky2 https://padlet.com/sharky2/hu6f7ne7k1cp/wish/268445797 Britain's first live public broadcast took place in June of 1920 from the Marconi Factory in Chelmsford, the public loved it, it caught their imagination but the powers to be "the official circles" found that broadcast's like this would interfered with important civil and military communications. By the late 1920's a ban was but in place on further Chelmsford broadcasts.

However, by 1922 the General Post Office (GPO) had received nearly a hundred broadcast license requests and after a petition with over 3,000 members the ban was lifted, but the GPO didn't want to see the same expansion of radio experienced in the United States so they only gave out one license. 

The license was given to a  company jointly owned by a consortium of leading wireless receiver manufacturers, this company was to be known as the British Broadcasting Company (BBC).]]> 2018-06-25 10:34:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sharky2/hu6f7ne7k1cp/wish/268445797 sharky2 https://padlet.com/sharky2/hu6f7ne7k1cp/wish/268445844 As I mentioned before, 75% of the income from the BBC comes from tax of owning a tv licence. The other 15% comes from their own commercial business's, government grants and from other income sources such as royalties from overseas broadcasts or rental collections.

The BBC has a budget of about just under £5 Billion, this is the second largest budget of any UK-Based broadcaster, just behind Sky.]]> 2018-06-25 10:34:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sharky2/hu6f7ne7k1cp/wish/268445844 sharky2 https://padlet.com/sharky2/hu6f7ne7k1cp/wish/268445863 The BBC has plenty of competitors in all of it's sectors. 

Social media, other online news sites, newspapers, and other things like this are competition for the news side of the BBC. A large number of young and old people get there news from other sources other than the BBC news site, such as social media, this means that people aren't using the BBC site in order to get their news and this creates competition for them.

In terms of the television side of things, it used to be other television channels such as ITV, Channel 4 and Sky that would prove the most fiercest of competition. But with the advancement of the technological age brings forth new and more modern competition for the BBC, competitors such as Netflix, Youtube, Amazon fire and such are taking away customers and creating competition.]]> 2018-06-25 10:35:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sharky2/hu6f7ne7k1cp/wish/268445863 sharky2 https://padlet.com/sharky2/hu6f7ne7k1cp/wish/268445897 The BBC follows a Charter that sets out the public purposes of the BBC as a corporation, it outlines the duties of both the BBC Trust and the BBC Executive Board, the Charter also guarantees its independence.

The BBC must remain ethical and take into consideration the representatition of all things that they put out. They strive to make sure that subjects of contreversy are treated with due impartiality. The BBC say they are committed to showing a wide range of opinions across they're output. They must also follow the 9PM watershed rule to insure that matieral that may be unsuitable for younger viewers is properly schedueled as to protect young people but not breach their right to information or freedom.

The BBC is supposed to take a non biased stance on everything that it reports/broadcasts, however many believe and even employees of the BBC themselves have said that the BBC is heavily Left Wing biased. 

An example of one time the BBC were in trouble in regards to ethical and legal constraints was when Blue Peter presenter, Richard Bacon, was found to have taken cocaine!.]]> 2018-06-25 10:35:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sharky2/hu6f7ne7k1cp/wish/268445897 sharky2 https://padlet.com/sharky2/hu6f7ne7k1cp/wish/268445969 From April 2017, Ofcom became the first external regulater for the BBC. The charter given to Ofcom gives responsibillity to them to regulate the content standards of the BBC'S radio, television and on demand shows.

However at the same time, Ofcom must consider the impacts of what the BBC is doing to effective and fair competition.

Under the charter, Ofcom has to enforce compliance by the BBC with specified requirments, they are also tasked with holding the BBC responsible in relations to it's output.]]> 2018-06-25 10:36:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sharky2/hu6f7ne7k1cp/wish/268445969 sharky2 https://padlet.com/sharky2/hu6f7ne7k1cp/wish/268445996 Ofcom
