The British Broadcasting Corporation, usually referred to by its abbreviation "the BBC", is the world’s largest broadcaster. In common with the public broadcasting organisations of many other European countries, it is funded yearly by a television licence fee. This is charged to all UK households owning a television capable of receiving broadcasts, rather than being underwritten directly by the UK Government. Formally, this is because the BBC was founded by, and is operating under, a Royal Charter granted by the British monarch.
