BBC One:
BBC One is funded by the people paying TV Licenses which therefore means they don't have to have advertisements on the channel because they don't need to make money to fund them like other channels do. They are a non-commercial channel.
BBC Two:
It is also a non-commercial channel and is self funded like BBC One. The shows shown on BBC Two are often spin offs from BBC One shows such as Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two. BBC Two is also shows 'High Brow' shows such as documentaries which is used to attract and older audience.
ITV:
Unlike BBC One/Two, ITV is a commercial channel, meaning that they are funded by businesses/companies paying for their adverts to be shown. ITV doesn't follow the educational remit like BBC one and Two do as it usually focuses on more the entertainment side rather than factual.
Channel Four:
Channel Four also relies on advertising as to fund the channel. The channel aims themselves at a younger audience as they show content that aren't usually shown on other channels such as Sex box. They also usually try to make this content educational as to give the shows purpose.
Channel five:
Channel five is a more formal than channel four. Channel five shows crime programmes and some American shows in order to grab the attention of a different audience that all the channels listed above don't necessarily reach.
Netflix:
Netflix differs from the other TV channels listed as it is not really classed as a TV channel as it is shown online. However, Netflix still provides films and TV shows just like the other channels do. Netflix buy the films or TV shows in order to be allowed to show them. Netflix buy the most popular films or shows to draw in a audience so that they subscribe to Netflix. This is how Netflix is funded.
