The Royal Charter
The BBC Trust - BBC is established by a Royal Charter. It is a constitutional basis for the BBC. It sets out the public purposes of the BBC and it guarantees independence. The BBC is independent from the government due to this Royal Charter and agreement. This makes it different from commercial radio but...

how is the BBC funded?

The BBC makes its money mainly through TV licence. License fee is about £145 for colour TV. The BBC as an organization doesn't subject its audience to advertising which is how other commercial radio and TV make its money. BBC makes its money purely from license fee.

Is value for money provided?

Paying £145.00 is good value for money for TV and radio in my opinion. With the license fee the BBC formed a program of in depth value for money reviews carried out by national audit offices in a way that the BBC determines value for money. One report published shows that the BBC manages the costs of its support functions supports value for money. BBC's reporting of overhead costs improves transparency. So paying for a license fee is considered good value for money. One of the BBC's missions/objectives for 2012 is to make the license fee work even harder.

BBC have visions , objectives and values for the future. The BBC's mission is to educate inform and entertain. With its TV and radio stations doing so. BBC intend to make a greater improvement to quality in their output. BBC is the most creative organization in the world. BBC aim to provide value for money by providing a basic service of entertaining and informing the public. The BBC provide many services on TV , Radio and Online.

What they do? TV and multi-platform .
