Public and Privete ownership

 

The owner of the tv is the one thats supposed to pay for his TV licence.
It costs £145.50 for a colour tc licence and £49.00 for a black and white tc licence.
To have your TV licence fee reduced you have to be aged 74and over or be part of a care home residence or be registred as blind. Watching TV withyout a valid TV licence is a criminal offence this can lead to prosecution, a court appearance and a fine up to £1.000(not included legal costs).
For watching TV online you will need a valid TV licence however if you only watch catch-up services online then you dont need a licence.
This is how the BBC services fee is shared out.

A privete ownership is owned by the company founders or a group of privete investors and they make their money by doing advertising.
Here is some examples of privete companies.
