Just like radio, there are two types of ownership and they are Public Service and Commercial ownership but within the Television Industry. In the United Kingdom we have a Public Service TV ownership and this is with the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) just like radio. Also the public service ownership for TV is funded by television tax and that money is hen separated and sent to the different of the BBC such as Radio. In fact the public service radio sector of the BBC gets a total amount of 19% of the television tax and they end up getting £650m to fund all of their radio stations around the UK and Worldwide. And the public service TV ownership gets a total percentage of 66% leaving them £2,276b to fund all of their TV programmes such as EastEnders, and that leaves a total percentage of 15% to go to other areas such as the Internet and other authorities. Th amount of money the TV ownership gets is quite easy to understand because the license fee was originally for TV back in the day when there were only five channels which were BBC 1, 2, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 and this is why the majority of the money goes to the public service TV ownership. The main TV show that used to make the most money for the BBC was a TV series called Top Gear, this show starred Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. This was biggest money maker until worst went to worse when Jeremy Clarkson hit a BBC producer. Also the same as radio we own the public service TV ownership and the same authority's state with TV just like radio which are they have to educate, entertain and inform that is why they have news programme's etc but they have to include one or multiple of the three on all of their TV programme's that are shown by the BBC. And as the BBC do not advertise so in other words hey can't make money off of advertising they have to rely on the public to fund the BBC TV ownership by television tax and they also have to rely to the successions of the majority of heir TV shows so they can make money off of it such as Top Gear in the past. And if they do not entertain everyone from every demographic profile there will be serious debate's and riots about shutting down the BBC. Also the BBC have to be non-biased because they are public service and we fund them. However some people say that the BBC are more left wing and talk more about them so they get more support and people on their side, however could cause more people to riot etc about the BBC. All of the BBC's television and radio stations have a public service remit.
Therefore television and radio are not the only ways e BBC can make money, they can also create internet content so they can make a bit of money off of is by broadcasting online and On-Demand streaming that they show on iPlayer and on iPlayer the public are able to watch TV programmes that they may have missed etc. However it only shows programme's that have been on in the past 30 days and it allows people to pick up these programmes on a lot of different technologies such as a laptop or a smartphone. There is also a total amount of 10% that goes to the internet sector of the BBC and his gives them enough money to fund everything the BBC has on the internet such as iPlayer. Despite the fact the BBC are only funded by license fee they can make money off of voluntary donations or funding by the state.

There are also different types of ownership within the television industry such as Commercial ownership and this is the opposite to public service. Also the majority of commercial ownership company's are privatized such as ITV. Commercial ownership is extremely opposite or different in comparison to public service ownership because public service is funded by the license fee and commercial ownership is funded by advertisement from different companies asking commercial ownership companies to advertise their product and ITV as an example will charge a specific amount depending on how popular one of their specific channels are. However commercial ownership's can also rely on internal methods such as competitions and voluntary donations that they will use to fund all of their channels. ITV is the biggest competitor towards the BBC because they also attract a big audience and they do not have to aim their shows at certain people although the might want to, to attract more people to watch a programme on a ITV channel. The ITV (Independent Television) corporation has grown outstandingly throughout these past few years because they are broadcasted in other countries and they are making their audience a lot bigger and attracting more people to watch TV show's on ITV. The independent television company is also one of the biggest Commercial broadcasters in the United Kingdom. In my conclusion I think ITV is a great competitor up against the BBC because they are making a lot of money and also educating, informing and entertaining a lot of people with the shows that they show on ITV.
