Public Service Ownership - The UK's largest public service broadcaster is the BBC (well known around the world) - funded by the license fee payer, everyone who has a TV has to have one. Not true of all countries.
The BBC's aims is to produce output that informs, educates and entertains the people. They can produce niche content because they don't have to worry about getting advertisers. The idea is that they can produce a range of content for everybody (Asian Network, Arts, News etc) as they don't have to worry about profit. This is what we all get for paying the license fee - they're will always be something for each of us somewhere on the BBC.
