Certain public service channels (BBC) invest there funds from mostley licence fee witch is basically is a fee payed for watching a certain programme , licence fee is currently set at £142.50 and 75 % of that goes towards the BBC.Other fundings such as syndication is were a commercial, public service, subscriber buy programmes outside the network system , for example comedy central buying freinds of E4 , its only a minore purchase but theres an example.The BBC dont just earn of them 2 , with the help of merchandising
and competitions.There are 3main types of channels , commercial, public service and subscribers, in my opinion i would say commercial earns the most but depending on how big the show is or the programme and it helps if loads of people are watching because a certain programme like itv for example can post advertising for more if say the x factor is on.Big companies like sky or virgin (subscribers) earn there money by people investing in there company due to bskyb being listed on the london stock exchange witch means anyone can invest money for a certain percentage.
In a basic way each broadcaster recieves there money either from advertising (commercial) witch is were companies will pay them money for advertising there product on there channel, another one is public service broadcasting , one channel that uses this frequently aswell as commercial , channel 4 first set up because BBC wasnt meeting the demands of the media city.
