BBC Television Service was the world's first regular public television service with a high level of image resolution.[2]
The channel was later renamed BBC TV until the launch of sister channel BBC Two in 1964. The channel has an annual budget of £840 million., and makes an annual profit of £900 million.[3] Along with the BBC's other UK television stations, it is funded completely by the television licence fee - this means it shows no adverts.
