Institution study: BBC.

The British Broadcasting Corporation is a government funded institution founded on the first of January 1927 and was the world's first national broadcasting system. Originally the BBC was a privately owned organisation which was founded by a group of six independent broadcasting companies on the 18th October 1922 and was known then as the British Broadcasting Company LTD. 

Throughout the history of the company, it's most notable period in history was during World War 2, during which they had broadcast news and informational services.

Since the company was founded, it has maintained a simple mission statement, which is "To enrich people's lives with programmes and services that inform, educate and entertain."

The BBC started TV broadcasting in 1932 using experimental electromechanical 30 line system and begun broadcasting regularly in 1934 and in 1936 their main TV service launched from Alexandra Palace, and lasting until 1956, with News being broadcast exclusively from there.

The BBC also remained the only TV broadcaster in the UK until 1955 when the ITV was launched.

Finally, BBC produced and broadcast programmes for the open university until they moved to a specially built studio in 1981.

Since then, the BBC has been widely known for it's services and shows, and is the most well respected and recognised national service in the world.
