Public and Private Ownership

Public ownership:

Public ownership is like for company's such as the BBC where they have everything paid for by the public. You pay for the BBC with your TV licence. The money that you pay for your TV licence goes onto different sectors in the BBC. Such as TV and radio. This is why you don't see adverts in-between programs because it is paid for by you and the BBC don't need to put adverts on because all of there money comes from the TV licences. 

Private ownership:

Private ownership is vary different from public ownership as all of the money for private comes from advertisements and sponsorship. Such as E4 and ITV, between every program there will be advertisements for products. This is how they fund there company and keep it going. Another way that private ownership make money is through the sales of TV subscriptions, some of the channels you have to subscribe for and the money that you pay to subscribe to these channels, some of the money will go to the TV subscription company and the rest to the TV Channel company so they can stay working.
