The owner of BBC
The owner of BBC has been changed to British public, while HS Government was listed as its owner before(https://web.archive.org/web/20170227222600/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC)。I did a little research and found following statement from The GOV.UK website:
The BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) is a British public service broadcaster. Its main responsibility is to provide impartial public service broadcasting in the UK, Channel Islands and Isle of Man.
BBC is a public corporation of the Department for Culture, Media & Sport.
https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/bbc
And in the wiki article of Department for Culture, Media and Sport(DCMS), it also clearly lists that the BBC is sponsored by DCMS(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Department_for_Culture,_Media_and_Sport#Public_broadcasting_authorities) And The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) is a department of the United Kingdom government(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Department_for_Culture,_Media_and_Sport)
So I suggest these facts should be taken into consideration, when the modification of the owner of BBC is to be made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.208.73.162 (talk) 08:44, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
Opening sentence - funding
Do we need a partial and potentially misleading phrase like "funded by the British government" in the opening sentence of the article - like in this addition? I think not. Comments? Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:23, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
