BBC Radio Research


Define and give an example of a commercial  and a public Service  radio broadcaster, explaining the key differences.
A public service radio broadcaster has to be politically neutral and has to be somewhat educating to the listeners, public service radio stations also have no adverts compared to commercial stations which have adverts. Commercial radio has no need to be politically neutral.


Explain the purpose, mission and values of the BBC and what it is meant to do for the public.
