Original Note:
While BBC not government-controlled outlet, it is state-funded & operates under Royal Charter granted by government. Its legal status, funding, & governance ties make it a form of state media, albeit one with high degree of editorial independence. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/may/21/what-changes-can-government-make-to-the-bbc https://www.bbc.com/aboutthebbc/governance/charter https://www.bbc.com/aboutthebbc/governance/licencefee https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/21/section/363
