Television Industries: Ownership

The term PSB (public service broadcast) is a term used for public benefit of a broadcast rather than commercial benefit.
There are three ways that a commercial broadcast makes a profit: subscription, sponsorship and advertisement.
In the UK, BBC is the main PSB channel.
Because PSB is funded by the public, they are legally obliged by law to:

  •  deliver impartial news.
  • represent all diverse communities of people.
  • support learning for people of all ages.
  • to show the most creative, highest quality and distinctive output and services.
