The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is the national broadcaster of the United Kingdom, based at Broadcasting House in London, England.

The BBC is currently established by law under the British Broadcasting Act 2022, with recent plans to be re-established officially under a royal charter. Following the closure of the Department for Culture, Media & Sport in mid 2022 by the Government, the BBC has had government oversight under His Majesty's Treasury. As a public service, the BBC's work is primarily funded by a government grant, as listed in the Government's monthly Budget.
