Remember, this is a STATE owned broadcast network.
And we have to suffer a LOT less 'Buy useless shit now!' commercials than offered by non-cable channels in America.
The BBC is actually something to be proud of. They come in under budget, make award winning dramas and documentaries.
Most of the product they make is not sensationalist, but highly cultural. Thank god someone is protecting that.
Almost everywhere in the world has come to trust the radio messages following the words "This is the BBC".
