PROFILE |
 |
The dominant broadcaster in the UK, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) brings the UK two public TV channels, a 24-hour cable news channel, five national radio networks, and an online news service. The BBC World Service broadcasts radio programming in more than 40 languages and is the sole source of news in some parts of the world. Subsidiary BBC Worldwide offers international TV channels and free Internet service. Established by royal charter, the organization receives some 75% of its revenues from license fees paid by UK TV set owners. Its growing involvement in commercial ventures under new director general Greg Dyke has prompted questions as to whether it is straying from its public service roots.
