- 8. Public or PrivateCompany & Revenue BBC is a public company as they are funded by the public. They do not use advertisement as a form of revenue. They are funded through members of the public having a TV licence and selling their shows to other companies so they can be shown on different channels. There are also books based on certain BBC TV shows which they make money from. Finally there are audio tapes and DVDs of shows owned by the BBC which again generate revenue. ITV is a private company as they make most of their money through advertisements between shows and sponsorships. ITV also makes money by selling their shows to other companies in order for them to be shown on different channels, as well as selling DVDs of shows that are owned by ITV.
- 9. Are they partof a larger conglomerate? ■ A conglomerate is a big company that owns other smaller companies. For example, Walt Disney owns Disney Pictures, ABC News, Hulu and ESPN. ■ The BBC could not be part of a conglomerate because they are government run and they are not private, they are public. ■ However, although ITV are not currently part of a conglomerate they could be due to the fact that they are private. For example, if Walt Disney were to buy ITV, Walt Disney could force them to show Disney content on ITV.

- 13. Horizontally or VerticallyIntegrated ■ Horizontal integration is the process of a company increasing production of goods or services at the same part of the supply chain. When a company is horizontally integrated they expand into other areas of the industry. ■ Vertical integration is when the production company has the ownership of the means of production, distribution and exhibition of the product by the same company. Because of this they receive all of the profit. ■ ITV has expanded as a family of channels with the launch of ITV2 in 1998, ITV3 in 2004, ITV 4 in 2005 and CITV 2006. ITV is an example of vertical integration because although they own several channels they solely focus on television. They also have a production company that means in certain cases they own the content shown on the channel – this relates to vertical integration as they have not included any other company that are not part of ITV. ■ BBC are horizontally integrated because they have their content distributed across other forms of media, for example radio. The BBC is also vertically integrated as they have their own production company so in some cases own the production from beginning to end.
