TV industry contexts: blog tasks

 1) What is the BBC's mission statement?

The BBC's mission statement is to Educate and Entertain.
This means that all of the BBC shoes/movies must be educational and entertaining. It has to be educational because of the younger audiences who watch BBC, e.g. the kids aged between 4-11.

2) How is the BBC funded?

They are funded by people who own Televisions and the ones who pay their TV licence which is £174.50 per year. The money people pay for their TV licences goes straight to the BBC which is how they make their shoes and pay employees/actors.

3) What must the BBC do to meet its public service broadcasting responsibilities? (Look at the five bullet points in the notes above).

  • To provide information (that is supposed to be balanced)
  • To support learning for people of all ages
  • To produce creative output
  • To have diverse content (such as with its representations)
  • To reflect the United Kingdom, its culture and values to the world

4) Who is the regulator for TV and Radio in the UK? You can find details on this in the notes above.

The BBC is regulated by OfCOM (the Office of Communications). OfCOM oversees all media channels and produces a code of conduct that all media channels must follow or have their licence to make content removed and or be fined heavily.

5) How is TV and Radio regulated by Ofcom? 

Kids content will be shown till 9pm because that is mostly when kids go to sleep or are not allowed to watch TV at that time. After 9pm is the time where there can be shows which have swearing and violence. 

6) How do Doctor Who and His Dark Materials help the BBC to meet the BBC's remit to inform, educate and entertain? Answer this question in at least 150 words.

Doctor Who fits the BBC’s goal to inform, educate, and entertain. The show makes people think about how history can be changed or used in different ways to influence opinions. It shows that not everything in textbooks is always true—some facts may be told from a certain point of view or used as propaganda. It also teaches viewers about science and space, especially during the time of the space race. On top of that, it’s fun to watch, with exciting ideas like a tiny police box that’s huge inside. The show likes to play with what we think is logical or possible.

His Dark Materials also meets the BBC’s purpose. It tells an exciting story with a conflict between three worlds, making people want to keep watching to see what happens. The diverse characters help different viewers feel included, and the show teaches a bit about fantasy, steampunk, and how made-up worlds can reflect real-life problems. While it’s mainly entertainment, it also makes viewers think about truth, power, and how people deal with tough situations.
