In the Uk, the BBC is the main PSB channel. 
Because they are funded by the public, the BBC have to meet the PSB PERMIT in terms of the genre variety, audiences, representation and quality of programme they reproduce.

They must follow:
*They have to provide impartial news and information to help people understand and engage in the world around them. 
*To support learning for all ages. 
*To show the most creative, highest quality and distinctive output and services  
*To reflect, represent and serve the diverse communities of all the UK's nations and regions.
