British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) är ett statligt brittiskt public service-företag för TV- och radioverksamhet, i första hand finansierat genom licensintäkter men även från intäkter i det kommersiella bolaget BBC Studios. Företaget stod bakom den första nationella TV-kanalen i världen och den första TV-kanalen med reguljära sändningar utanför USA. BBC brukar kallas Public Service-modern eftersom man myntade uttrycket Public Service vars innebörd är att man har särskilda förpliktelser gentemot allmänheten reglerade i ett avtal med staten. Public service, vilket även innefattar de kommersiella kanalerna ITV, Channel 4 och Channel 5, är en benämning som senare kopierats med varierande innebörd av många länder däribland Sverige där SVT / SR gjort sin egen tolkning av uttrycket. BBC har varit en föregångare inom radio och television och det bolag som var först med reguljära sändningar inom respektive medium. Företagets nyhetsverksamhet är en av de mest ansedda i hela världen och det ligger bakom en rad klassiska serier som blivit populära runt om i världen – inte minst i Sverige. BBC har en stor mängd TV- och radiokanaler både i Storbritannien och i andra delar av världen.
