The BBC is the very essence of Socialism; it used to be Capitalist until a brutal government takeover in 1926.

Socialist BBC radio failed to give the kids what they wanted the most in the 1950s & 60s: Rock and Roll, (due to an Anti-American bias). Entrepreneurs filled the gap with Pirate Radio stations.

Sixty years later the BBC still does not deliver the media kids (Millennials) - and people of color - want. Yet they enforce $20/month from Millennial households when they would rather use the scarce money for smartphone web media.

You'll find that the British Broadcasting Company became the British Broadcasting Corporation under the CONSERVATIVE government of Stanley Baldwin.

Suggest you also read Briggs, Volume 1 pp327 et seq for a greater understanding of this period of BBC history.
