    In the television sector, there are one of two types of broadcasters; commercial and public service broadcasters. A public service broadcaster is a non-profit public television network. An example of this sort of TV channel would be the BBC which is run by John Reith and George Villiers. The service is viewed widely through the UK and is paid for through the TV licence fees making it a national company, but it is also broadcasts in some other countries. The fee is paid for by every household that has a television. All the money which is generated goes straight to the company and is put forward into bettering their service of entertainment. They also generate money through merchandise, DVD and programme sales on their online shop. Public service broadcasters have a duty to show certain things on their channels as they are put in place for all of the public. Their remit is to entertain and inform the audience as well as educate them. This compares to commercial broadcasters which are independent and have no duty except to entertain, even if the shows they choose to air have no beneficial effect on their audience.…

    The business that I want to open would be a franchise of a McDonald’s restaurant. McDonald’s is a fast-food restaurant that serves a variety of products, but is mostly known for its great hamburgers and fries. McDonald’s is a business that has been around for quite some time now and is widely popular all around the world and especially in the United States I believe that this would be a great opportunity because the area that I plan to open the restaurant in doesn’t have a restaurant that could compete with McDonald’s at this time. This area is my home town of Chillicothe, Ohio, which is a small town, located about an hour south of the state capital of Columbus. The area is large enough to support the business and I believe that if I strike while to iron is hot that I could get ahead of any competition that I would face in the future.…

    Spread of radio listeners started disruption with the radio stations. Radio stations began to compete for the listeners and programs started to overlap. To go along with the problems, the government and emerging radio corporations thought of the radio as a public service. Radio announcers, deejays, and stations worked on a non-profit basis. Advertising over the radio was later in the 1920's, changing it from public service to making money.…

    The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) was formed in 1922 by a group of radio manufacturers in order to popularize the new medium and create content for customers to listen to on their new devises. The organization grew as it developed a radio transmitter network and started looking at other media types. However, due to an issue of license fee collection, the BBC experienced heavy financial losses which caused the original radio manufacturers to pull out of the entity. To enable the entity to continue operating, a Royal Charter was created to fund the entity moving forward. BBC still operates under that charter which is reviewed every 10 years and the funding comes from a License Fee levied on all households that owned color TV’s.…

    “Service for the people”, these words are usually being carried along by most television networks. A service that unlocks the awareness to the ill-governed and anomalies of the government, the window that shows how people live in sorrows and the juggler who entertains the people to relive the stress they’ve had in a day of hassle. Everything should’ve been in good place if only the people who are of big contribution to the success of the service were granted by something due to these works of them.…
