The BBC began life in 1922 with a full name of British Broadcasting Company. It was a commercial organization set up to broadcast radio programs. In 1929 it changed from a commercial company to a public organization. Although the initials remained the same, it became the British Broadcasting Corporation, set up under a royal charter. 1929 was also the year it began television broadcasting for the first time. It has continued to this day as a public service broadcaster and has remained independent of the British government throughout its history.

The BBC is a nationally owned broadcaster. In 1929 it received a royal charter to broadcast to the Unitied Kingdom without charge to the viewers. It receives its funding through the UK television licence. Every household that receives television broadcasts of any kind are required to pay the licence fee. The collected fee is passed to the BBC and allows the corporation to operate without the need for commercial sponsors of any kind. The funding has been mandated by the government but the BBC operates independently of government and is allowed a completely free voice. It can be one of the government's fiercest critics. Without the need to sell commercial space, the BBC can avoid the need to chase ratings. It is noted for some of its minority interest programming as a result. It also has the ability to produce high budget drama without a requirement to match income to costs. The result is a broadcaster that consistently produces high quality programs and politically independent programs and is the envy of the world's broadcasters.

The BBC is getting to be an old lady these days, almost 90 years old now. It was created in 1922 by a group of companies who wanted to offer radio broadcasting in the UK. A few years later in 1927, it was changed from private ownership to a national organization, by way of a royal charter, a decree made by the king or queen of Britain. The royal charter provides the BBC with guaranteed funding as well as freedom from government control. in 1929, the BBC began its first ever television broadcast. So, in 2010, the original BBC is 88 years old, the chartered BBC is only 83 years and BBC television is a mere 80 years old. These dates mean that it is not the oldest broadcaster but it is the first broadcaster to broadcast television.

The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) has the term 'Royal' because it was founded by Royal Charter in 1727. The use of the term Royal is restricted, and, would normally have to be bestowed by the monarch by Royal Charter (e.g. a number of towns are referred to as 'Royal Burghs', such as Kirkcaldy, even though the term was abolished in 1975).
