Yes and no.
The original broadcaster was the BBC - public funding means that the BBC do not carry commercials on their broadcast channels. ITV was the first commercial channel and relied on advertising income for funding.
The next channel to be launched was Channel 4. Channel 4 is a publicly owned and was supported by a variety of funding routes. Despite the public funding, it still carried commercials from the time it was launched. Channel 4 has always been regarded as a public service network and relied on funding in addition to its own advertising revenue. If one counts partially commercial channels, then Channel 4 was the second.
Channel 5 was the next commercial channel and was privately funded from the start. It was the second fully commercial channel to be launched.

What channel do you put your tv on when you install a wii?
This depends on where you plug it in.Nearly all TVs have an 'AV' setting somewhere, and 'AV' jacks on the back or sides of the TV. If you plug your Wii's AV cable directly into those, just set your TV to the 'AV' channel when you want to play.If your TV has more than one AV channel, it'll say somewhere on the TV next to those jacks which one to use, or just try all of them.If you use a component cable with five leads, select the 'Component' channel.
