BBC get their funding of the public  through the license fee, which is something i do not agree with. The reason they do this is so they do not have to advertise as most other TV channels get their fundings by advertising but the BBC can't do this. However the BBC are supposed to be unbiased because they are a public service broadcaster they cant give their own opinions they are only there to entertain and inform., there for everything they say must be  the truth.
A television licence or broadcasting recieving licence as its also know as, is an official licence tthats required in many countries for the reception of television and in some cases also radio broadcasts. It is a form of hypothecation tax, which allows public broadcasters to transmit television programmes without or with only supplemental, funding from radio and television commercials.
