8. Operating Model - Relationship with
Advertisers
 The BBC does not carry out any advertising or sponsorship on
its public services. They do this because they want to remain
independent of commercial interests and ensure they can be
run purely to serve the general public interest.
 If airtime was sold either wholly or partially, advertisers and
other commercial pressures would be able to have their say
on when the programme is filmed and schedule priorities.
Which deceases the There revenue for broadcasters.

9. Operating Model - Relationship with
Advertisers
 To guarantee a wide range of unrestricted
programmes, each households pays for a T.V license.
This guarantees that a wide range of high-quality
programmes can be made available, unrestricted, to
everyone. The licence fee also helps support
production skills, training, local
 The BBC runs additional commercial services around
the world. These are not financed by the licence fee
but are kept quite separate from the BBC's public
services.
