| − | BBC was given a royal charter in 1927 as a public body; it took over the operations and infrastructure of the private, commercially run British Broadcasting Company, which began in 1922. The royal charter and license, constitute the BBC as a public corporation with a mandate to provide broadcasting as a public service. BBC is funded by an annual tax (which it calls a license fee) levied on the majority of UK residents owning a television set regardless of income. The BBC's monopoly on radio lasted from 1922 until 1973 with the introduction of commercial radio. It monopolized television from 1936 to 1954, when the Television Act allowed for the establishment of commercial stations financed by spot advertising. | + | BBC was given a royal charter in 1927 as a public body; it took over the operations and infrastructure of the private, commercially run British Broadcasting Company, which began in 1922.
