British broadcasting refers to the transmission of television and radio content in the UK, regulated primarily by the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) and other private and public channels. The BBC, a publicly funded organization, offers news, entertainment, and cultural programming nationally and internationally. Other broadcasters like ITV, Channel 4, and Sky operate commercially. The industry is overseen by Ofcom, which ensures standards, fairness, and competition. British broadcasting emphasizes impartial news coverage, diverse programming, and public service obligations, reflecting the country's cultural values and democratic principles while adapting to technological changes like digital and online media.
