Channel Four Television Corporation
 PROFILE
Once UK television's wild child, Channel Four has come of age. Formerly a small, low-rated network, the TV channel has been reinventing itself as a bastion of cultural programming. It broadcasts an eclectic mix of programming such as "Big Brother, Love in the 21st Century," and "Music of the Millennium." The company also finances and distributes films ("Dogma"), sells television programs internationally, provides studio and production services, and offers online educational resources. Although Channel Four is owned by the UK government, it is funded commercially through advertising. Its commercial television rivals complain it is being allowed to use public funds to compete with pay-TV and the Internet.
