The BBC has made a significant announcement regarding its future broadcasting strategy, revealing plans to shift all of its channels to an exclusive online platform. This move will mark the end of traditional broadcasting methods as we know them. The decision comes on the heels of a recent upgrade from standard definition (SD) satellite broadcasts to high definition (HD) versions, which was implemented on January 8 of the previous year.
Founded in 1922, the BBC is a British public service broadcaster that officially adopted its current name on January 1, 1927. As one of the leading media organizations in the world, it employs over 21,000 individuals across the globe. Throughout its history, the BBC has played a pivotal role in shaping British culture and society.
Notably, in 1923, it launched the first-ever broadcast listings magazine, Radio Times, which became a tremendous success. Its Christmas edition in 1988 sold an astonishing 11 million copies, making it the best-selling edition in the history of British magazines. The BBC’s headquarters are located at Broadcasting House in Westminster, London.
