Should the BBC have adverts?
The BBC has been the British national broadcaster for almost a century. Although it started out as a commercial company, in 1929 it was turned into a corporation owned by the nation. Its mandate was and still is to broadcast without interference or influence from government, public bodies, private companies and other groups such as advertisers. The BBC is funded by a television licence payable by every household in the UK that uses a television. In 2012 the fee is £145 ($220) and is a small price to pay to guarantee the independence of the BBC. The absence of commercials means that viewer ratings are less important than with other broadcasters. Minority groups have content produced for them and difficult documentary topics are tackled without the risk of advertisers removing funding. The lack of commercials and the programming that is provided makes for a television and radio broadcaster that is the envy of the world. There is no other broadcaster like it and long may it remain the independent corporation that is has been since 1929.
