For a long period of time, the BBC has monopolized British television and radio. Prior to the establishment of independent television stations in 195 and independent radio stations in 1973, the BBC was the only television and radio broadcaster in the UK. Today, the BBC is not only a globally known media but also provides a variety of other services, including book publishing, newspapers, English language teaching, symphony orchestras and internet news services.
