Public is owned collectively by the public as a whole who pay for the TV license which is £145.50 a year per house hold.. This is broadcasters such as the BBC. As a result of this, programmes are alot more specific to what the public want, it also helps new programmes which may start on BBC Three get funding to become a series. Another advantage is that due to the TV license there is no need to have adverts, which means programmes just run straight through with out a break. However, public is only a certain amount of channels so may not have the programmes suited for everyone which means they may need to look at private broadcasting channels.
Private is owned by companies or people who own a range of companies. As private broadcasting is owned by companies this means that there is no license fee. This means that there has to be advertisements between programmes for breaks which is a way of the owners of the channels produce money. They earn profit on how many people watch there channel or buy into their company such as buying a sky or a virgin box. An advantage of this is that you don't have to pay for the channels you just pay one payment for the box such as sky or virgin and get a huge selection of channels. A disadvantage of private is that there are adverts as that is where they get there money from when programmes or companies pay for there adverts to get shown at certain times when people will be watching television the most.
