Editing Television broadcaster (section)

==Global==
A major international television broadcaster is the British Broadcasting Corporation ([[BBC]]), which is perhaps most-well known for its news agency [[BBC News]]. Owned by [[the Crown]], the BBC funds itself in two ways. UK services branded under BBC are funded by the [[Television licensing in the United Kingdom|television license]] paid by British residents, as a result no advertising appears on these services. The advertising-funded arm ([[BBC Studios]]) employs 23,000 people worldwide including the operation of broadcaster [[UKTV]] in the UK itself.  Experimental television broadcasts were started in 1929, using an electromechanical 30-line system developed by [[John Logie Baird]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=1920s|url=http://bbc.com/historyofthebbc//timelines/1920s|access-date=18 November 2020|website=bbc.com|language=en|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200516200700/http://bbc.com/historyofthebbc//timelines/1920s|archive-date=16 May 2020}}</ref> Limited regular broadcasts using this system began in 1934 and [[First day of television programmes|an expanded service]] (now known as [[BBC Television]]) started from [[Alexandra Palace]] in November 1936.<ref>{{cite book|author=Norman, Bruce|url=https://archive.org/details/hereslookingatyo0000norm/page/99|title=Here's Looking at You: The Story of British Television 1908–1939|year=1984|isbn=978-0-563-20102-1|page=[https://archive.org/details/hereslookingatyo0000norm/page/99 99]}}</ref>
