Broadcasting is the transmission of sound and
vision programmes by RADIO and TELEVISION.
Broadcasting may be organized under private
enterprise, as in the USA, or may operate
under a compromise system, as in Britain,
where there is a television and radio
service controlled by the state regulated
British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and
also the commercial Independent Television
Commission (ITC). In the USA, broadcasting is
only limited by the issue of licences from
he Federal Communications Commission to
competing commercial companies, whilst in
Britain, the BBC is a centralized body
appointed by the state and responsible to
Parliament, but with policy and programme
content not controlled by the state.
