Outside the UK, they are mainly known for: the BBC World Service radio, which broadcasts in 28 different languages, as well as the BBC World News channel. The corporation is a public organization with a board of directors, consisting of 12 trustees, who are chosen by the British Queen.
BBC (eng. British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC) is radio and television complex of Great Britain.
BBC is one of the largest news agencies in the world, founded in the UK in 1992.
BBC is a series of informative documentaries covering various topics.
The media corporation carries out both internal and external Internet, radio and television broadcasting conducted by the BBC World Service. The corporation is not a state media, but is a public organization with a control board consisting of 12 trustees appointed by the Queen of England. Outside the UK, the BBC World Service radio, which broadcasts in 28 languages, and the BBC World News TV channel are known mainly.
The company was founded in 1922. International broadcasting began in 1932. From 1929 a transmitter was used in London, by 1930 regular television programs were broadcast using an antenna in Brookmans Park. Baird's company, now known as BBC One, started television production on August 2, 1932. Before the interruption in broadcasting caused by the Second World War, the channel's audience numbered 25-40 thousand houses. The break was due to the fact that VHF transmissions would have served as an excellent bearing for German bombers, and engineers and technicians were needed for military purposes.
In 1946 television broadcasting resumed from the Alexandra Palace. The BBC Television Service broadcast a variety of programs reaching a wide audience. BBC TV was renamed BBC1 in 1964, after the launch of BBC2, the third highest rated channel in the UK (the second was ITV). A fire at Battersea Power Station caused an extensive blackout across London, which delayed the launch of the canal, scheduled for 20 April 1964. The opening of the channel took place by candlelight. BBC2 was the first British channel to broadcast in the UHF band.
The Alexandra Palace TV tower in London has been operated by the BBC since 1936.
In 1967, BBC Two became the first channel in Europe to broadcast TV programs in PAL color. (BBC One and ITV did not begin broadcasting in color until November 15, 1969). BBC Two did not show "soap operas" or regular news.
Presenter David Attenborough left BBC Two to work for BBC Natural History until the 1950s. The whole world knows the programs of David Attenborough created by this association: "Life on Earth", "Invisible Plant Life", "Blue Planet" and "Planet Earth".
In 1974, the BBC introduced the first Ceefax teletext system.
In July 2003, the BBC began broadcasting programs via the Astra 2D satellite, at a cost of £85 million to the BBC.
In July 2004, the BBC celebrated its fiftieth anniversary. This event was released on DVD. In late 2006, BBC Television, led by Jana Bennett, merged into a larger group: BBC Vision.
BBC logos
For a relatively long time, the BBC went without a permanent logo. In 1936 when it started television broadcasting, breaks between transmissions were filled with different test cards or simple inscriptions. In 1953, Abram Games drew a logo in the spirit of that time, which received the nickname “bat wings” (eng. “Bat's wings”). A rotating globe was placed in the center of the logo, and for the BBC in Scotland in in the center is a lion.
The idea of the logo that appeared on the screens on September 30, 1963 was the longest used idea. The announcer said the words “you are watching BBC television” (eng. “This is BBC Television”), and at this time, the oblique letters “BBC tv” appeared against the background of a rotating globe.
In the early 1990s, the letters evened out, leaving only two colors: black and white; also the font was changed to Gill Sans. This has a connection to 1932, when the font's designer, Eric Gill, was a key sculptor in the design of the BBC's Broadcasting House.
History of the BBC
The BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) was founded on October 18, 1922 as the British Broadcasting Company Ltd. group of enterprises as a private entity. The first transmission was made on November 14 of the same year. In 1927, the company was granted a royal privilege.
It itself was nationalized by the government, although it remained independent in editorial politics and enjoyed broad self-government. Outside the UK, the company began broadcasting in December 1932. The international broadcast of the "Imperial Service", as it was then called, was intended to unite the English-speaking population of the British Empire. Shortly after the start of the broadcast, King George V was the first of the monarchs to go on the radio with a Christmas greeting. He addressed "a people cut off by snows and deserts, to whom only ethereal voices can reach." The first two non-English services (Spanish for Latin America and Arabic) began operating in 1938. And by the beginning of World War II, the BBC was broadcasting in seven languages. Before the break in broadcasting caused by the war, the channel's audience numbered 25-40 thousand houses. The break was due to the fact that ultrashort transmission waves would have served as an excellent bearing for German bombers, and engineers and technicians were needed for military purposes.
In 1946 television broadcasting resumed from the Alexandra Palace. The BBC Television Service broadcast a variety of programs reaching a wide audience. In the post-war period, a global “transistor revolution” took place, thanks to which millions of inexpensive radios appeared in the population. This led to an explosion in the worldwide radio audience, which was fought over by the BBC World Service and many other broadcasters.
After the war, the BBC was the first television company in the world to create its own educational television programs and educational documentary television series, such as Wildlife and Walking with Dinosaurs.
BBC TV was renamed BBC One in 1964 after the launch of BBC Two, the third highest rated channel in the UK (ITV was second). A fire at Battersea Power Station caused an extensive blackout across London, which delayed the launch of the canal, scheduled for 20 April 1964. Therefore, the opening of the channel took place by candlelight. BBC Two was the first British channel to broadcast in the ultra-high frequency range. The whole world knows the programs of David Attenborough created by this association: Life on Earth, Private Life of Plants, Blue Planet and Planet Earth. In 1967, BBC Two became the first channel in Europe to broadcast television programs in color (BBC One and ITV only began broadcasting in color in November 1969).
In 1974, the BBC introduced the first teletext system, Ceefax, a television network network service providing text and simple pictures. In 1988, the External Service was renamed the BBC World Service.
Today the BBC owns two terrestrial and three cable TV channels. In addition, it includes 14 national digital radio stations, two websites and 40 magazines. Domestically, the BBC has 20 different TV channels, including the 24-hour news channel - BBC News.
The BBC is run by a board of directors (12 people) and a director general, who are appointed by the queen on the advice of the government. Financially, the BBC World Service existed at the expense of the budget of the Foreign Office (the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office), but in October 2010 it relieved itself of these duties, transferring the BBC to the main balance of the British Broadcasting Corporation. The legal basis for the company's activities is the charter - the charter, in accordance with which the British Broadcasting Corporation exists. The current Charter entered into force in 2007 and will expire at the end of 2016. The document fully recognizes the editorial independence of the BBC and defines the public goals, role and structure of the corporation. In addition, the charter outlines the core values of the BBC:
1. Trust is the foundation of the BBC; we are independent, impartial and honest.
2. The audience is at the center of everything we do.
3. We are proud of the quality of our work.
4. Creativity is the blood and flesh of our organization.
5. We respect everyone and give everyone the opportunity to do what they do best.
6. We are one BBC: when we work together, we can do a lot.
The BBC currently broadcasts in 32 languages. According to the latest BBC Global Audience Survey (May 2007), it is 183 million listeners per week. About 37.6 million of that number listen to the BBC in English. The main residence of the World Service is Bush House. She received this name in honor of the man who built it, Irving Bush, who is the owner of the New York company "Bush Terminal". The BBC's mission is to enrich people's lives with programs and services that inform, educate and entertain, and to be the world's most creative organization.
The satellite era for the BBC began in 1991, when it was trumpeted around the world on a pay TV channel for Europe and Asia. On April 15, 1992, transmissions to Africa began. The strategic goal then was the creation of a global BBC channel, which was implemented in 1993. The program being created in London consisted mainly of a mixture of existing BBC television programmes. In the evenings, the BBC World Service provided a half-hour news report with weather and financial information. The rest of the program consisted of TV features, drama, light entertainment, sports and children's shows, news and news. . It is the largest international broadcast operator and the leading distributor and co-producer of BBC programmes. BBC Worldwide Television was created in May 1994 by the merger of the television arm of BBC Enterprises and the business channel BBC World Service Television.
In 1994-95, BBC Worldwide was granted a patent for over 14,500 hours of programming in over 80 countries, making the BBC Europe's largest exporter of television programmes; the most famous of them were "Great White Shark", "Mid-March", "Absolutely Incredible".
BBC Worldwide Television has dedicated teams specialized in their program areas, working with the BBC's Production Department, independent producers and eight overseas offices. These teams determine the investment policy, marketing and commercial strategy for key programs with subsequent possible international licensing. In 1994-95 alone, 111 cooperation agreements were concluded with broadcasters in 14 countries, the value of BBC Worldwide Television deals at the Cannes festival (MIPTV Program Market) reached 15.4 million pounds. BBC Worldwide Television has overseas offices in New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Sydney, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Paris and Cologne representing BBC Worldwide Television outside the UK. In January 1995, BBC World Service Televisions (news and information channel) rebranded as BBC World and partly reorganized to launch in Europe. The new channel has been merged with BBC Prime (now BBC Entertainment) and the main TV channels and programs of BBC World Service Televisions have been relaunched.
The BBC has access to the largest libraries of film and video materials, BBC Librares Sales licenses excerpts and special selections of film and video materials for users around the world. Since July 25, 2005, the management of the BBC channel has introduced internal censorship. From now on, the BBC stopped showing scenes of extreme cruelty. To this end, all live broadcasts, in particular those that may contain scenes of cruelty, began to air with a delay of several seconds. This time allows you to cut out all episodes of violence that will be identified by a special commission.
The World Service has repeatedly said that it cannot afford to stand still, therefore, in order to keep up with technological changes, it constantly updates its list of services and modernizes old services. In 2006, the BBC launched a public test broadcast of high definition television - HD. The BBC HD channel is broadcast 24 hours a day on terrestrial television in the UK, as well as from the Astra 2D satellite. On November 3, 2010, the BBC launched another high definition channel, BBC One HD, the BBC's second HD channel. And in 2012, the BBC will broadcast from the London Olympics only in HD.
In July 2007, the BBC began providing new service currently only available to UK residents. iPlayer is an easy-to-use gadget that allows you to access TV programs through your computer. Thanks to it, you can watch TV programs of the last seven days, as well as listen to both live and recorded radio programs.
Residents of the United Kingdom get access to TV programs through iPlayer for free; they are offered in high quality and without advertisements. Once a TV or radio program has been downloaded to a computer, the user has 30 days to start watching it and seven days to complete it. In the same year, the British Broadcasting Corporation BBC launched a new service - Internet access via TV. If successful, this state corporation may become one of the leading players in the Internet access market.
In 2009, the BBC launched a new digital communications department. This is due to the fact that the Air Force is interested in digital broadcasting through satellite and digital services, in addition, the audience is rapidly growing digital television. The head of the new branch was Paul Almond, who previously headed the Air Force Vision. In the same year, the BBC launched a new service - the broadcast of its television programs on Cell phones. Viewers can watch programs from channels such as BBC One, BBC Four, CBeebies and BBC News.
In March 2010, the BBC provided several high-budget documentaries to the Ukrainian entertainment channel TVi.
In 2010, the corporation decided to expand its field of activity and open its own animation studio. At the moment, management is looking for a suitable location for the new unit. The BBC's animators will work both on the production of content for adults and for the company's younger audiences. To do this, two divisions of the BBC, specializing in the production of entertainment and children's programs, will combine their efforts to create a studio. Formation of the new division will be completed in early 2011.
The BBC manages to combine classic plays, fresh, new comedies, true stories, educational and children's programs, live concerts, new music, religious programs. And all this over a long period of time, especially in England, but it also attracts an audience in many other countries.
Over the past 2 years, the BBC has saved a total of £200 million through effective implementations and innovations. The BBC intends to use these funds to create new programs and invest in new digital technologies to make the company's products even more efficient and competitive.
The BBC is its own name in the TV and radio programming market. 95% of households in the UK watch and listen to the BBC every week, at a cost of 3.7p per hour for a subscriber. The number of responses to BBC programs is enormous. The BBC's commercial activity generates annual "fees" of $72 million - a successful business by all standards, but even that is small compared to the $1.7 billion the channel receives and spends every year on everything to do with licenses and broadcasting rights. The .BBC puts a lot of emphasis on listening to the views of viewers and listeners during programs for the sake of communication and, of course, exploring the ideas that audiences expect from the channel. The BBC is interested in its audience to satisfy creative ambitions.

The channel was launched on March 11, 1991. After two weeks of pilot programs, the channel began to broadcast permanently. On January 1, 1994, the channel was divided into two parts: one channel was an entertainment channel that required a special subscription, the other was a news channel. In the same 94, the channel underwent a slight rebranding. From 1994 to 1997 the graphics and studio design of the news programs were very similar to those used on the regular BBC channels in England.
The channel's new design and updates came after a new corporate logo was introduced on October 4, 1997, and graphic changes took place on November 9, 1997. Another major change in the channel's design came in 1999, when the news acquired the same corporate colors , such as red and cream, as well as a single "countdown" score that was written by composer David Low, thereby deviating from the main melodies with the orchestra.
In 2003, a new rebranding took place, using the same "countdowns" as musical background. The graphics have also changed.

Services that produced programs for the Caribbean region in English and for African countries in Portuguese were also closed. Seven services abandoned radio broadcasting, continuing to work on the Internet. Among them are the Azerbaijani and Ukrainian services of the BBC.

BBC in Russia
On June 23, 1941, speaking in Parliament, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced to his compatriots that Germany had attacked the Soviet Union. The BBC decided to translate Churchill's historic speech into Russian and broadcast it for radio listeners in the USSR. This broadcast laid the foundation for the Russian-language broadcasting of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). was called the BBC World Service), disputes about the advisability of regular broadcasting in Russian began to sound more and more actively.
Opponents argued that in the USSR they were not interested in news from Great Britain and that few people there had shortwave receivers. In addition, after broadcasting the translation of Churchill's speech, Soviet diplomats accredited in London "softly" made it clear that Moscow did not see the point in broadcasts of this kind. As a result, regular broadcasting of the British Broadcasting Corporation in Russian began only five years later, after the famous Fulton Churchill's speech on the Iron Curtain.
On March 24, 1946, at 19:45 Moscow time, Sonya (Betty) Horsfall hosted the first program prepared by the BBC Russian Section. the evacuation from Manchuria, the forthcoming session of the UN Security Council, and the arrival of a British government delegation in India to negotiate self-government. The second half of the program consisted of light music.
BBC broadcasting in Russian has always been carried out in accordance with the principles formulated by the founder of the BBC, Lord Reet: "inform, educate, entertain."
Anatoly Goldberg was the epitome of the BBC's "gentlemanly" style.
Since the BBC did not see itself as an alternative to domestic broadcasting in the USSR, Russian programming did not place much emphasis on events in Russia. The main focus of the programs was on life in the UK.
This was the fundamental difference between Russian-language broadcasting and, for example, the American Radio Liberation (later Radio Liberty), which was initially noticeably politicized and focused on reports about Soviet Russia. However, there were some sharp moments. So, in 1949, the former head of the provisional government of Russia, Alexander Kerensky, spoke on the waves of the BBC. In his speech, he, in fact, called for an uprising, which immediately provoked a protest from the Kremlin.
Earlier, in January 1948, the British government ordered a policy of anti-communist propaganda, and the then head of the BBC Eastern European Service supported the initiative. Later, together with the staff of the British Foreign Office, he singled out those sections of Soviet society that, in principle, could show disloyalty to the existing regime: labor camp prisoners, dudes and students, low-paid workers, representatives of national minorities and believers - and offered to directly or indirectly encourage their moods. On April 24, 1949, the USSR for the first time began jamming BBC broadcasts. The BBC took a retaliatory step by agreeing with other Western radio stations, primarily Voice of America, and began bombarding the USSR with radio programs in such a way that they would go out at the same time, but at different frequencies. The tactic worked. Efficient operation of jammers was achieved only in Moscow, Leningrad and several other large cities.
The BBC remained the most moderate and unbiased of all Western radio stations broadcasting to the USSR.
One of the most prominent figures in the Russian service of that time was Anatoly Goldberg. For many listeners, his calm voice has embodied the spirit of the BBC Russian Service for almost 40 years. In Moscow, Goldberg was once branded as a spy and banned from visiting the USSR.
Since the 1950s, the jamming of BBC programs has become a kind of barometer of relations between Moscow and London. It stopped, then resumed.
During the years of the Khrushchev thaw, a weekly pop music show went on the air, which became the forerunner of a very popular rock program later created by Seva Novgorodtsev. It was hosted by Anthony (Anthony) Cash, who accompanied the programs with funny ditties.
At the same time, the BBC began to organize quizzes. At first, books about the UK were raffled off as prizes, and in 1965, the winners of a particularly difficult quiz were offered a two-week trip to the UK. Hundreds of letters have arrived. But the two winners from the USSR were never allowed to leave.
After 1968, there was no point in holding quizzes at all.
The secrecy and slowness of the Russian media gave foreign broadcasters a significant advantage. So, in 1964, the BBC, long before Soviet journalists, announced the removal of Khrushchev from power. In addition, BBC listeners were able to hear an analysis of this event and the reaction of the world to the change in the Kremlin elite.
Since 1992, Radio of Russia has been rebroadcasting several programs weekly. In 1999, the audience was 6 million people a week. FM rebroadcasting was discontinued in November 2006. Transmissions continue on medium wave big cities and on short waves and via satellite. The BBC Russian service stopped broadcasting on March 26, 2011, while maintaining broadcasting on the Internet and via satellite.
In 2005, BBC Russian Service radio host Seva Novgorodtsev became a Commander of the Order of the British Empire. This award at Buckingham Palace was presented to him personally by Queen Elizabeth II for outstanding services in radio journalism. The information program “Looking from London” and comments of the day by Anatoly Maksimovich Goldberg were very popular.
The station also broadcast the famous musical program of Seva Novgorodtsev, which aired at midnight on Fridays and was repeated on Saturdays. This program lasted 30 minutes and introduced radio listeners to the latest British hit parades, and also included interesting stories about Western bands and musicians. In 2005, BBC Russian Service radio host Seva Novgorodtsev became a Commander of the Order of the British Empire. This award at Buckingham Palace was presented to him personally by Queen Elizabeth II for outstanding services in radio journalism. The information program “Looking from London” and comments of the day by Anatoly Maksimovich Goldberg were very popular.
Official website of the BBC Russian service
The Internet domain was registered in January 1998.
Initially, the site bbcrussian.com, which hosted the broadcast schedule with the coordinates of the London edition, was made by a group of enthusiasts from among the employees of the service.
Over the next two years, the site added its own team of journalists to prepare and update news stories. Since the late 1990s, the BBC Russian Service began broadcasting on the Internet.
In 2000, the BBC World Service decided to develop a unified design and introduce single system publications for sites of all language services. Since the fall of 2000, the BBC Russian Service website has been updated around the clock, seven days a week.
Initially, the Russian Service web page existed in a fixed format of 600 pixels wide, but in May 2003 the site design underwent a major change, and the page width increased to 800 pixels.
Since March 2006, the site began to appear news videos of its own production, which since the spring of 2009 have been updated around the clock. In addition, since 2007, podcasting has appeared on the site bbcrussian.com. Today on home page The site contains regularly updated podcasts of the programs "BibiSeva", "You have the word", "The Fifth Floor", as well as English lessons.
Since April 2009, the website of the Russian Service has completely changed its appearance again, switching to a fixed width of 1024 pixels.

Story
launch
At the time of the launch of BBC Two, only the BBC Television Service and ITV were broadcast in the UK, which were networks of small regional companies. Both channels have been in competition since the launch of ITV in 1955 in an effort to gain popularity among television viewers. In 1962, the Pilkington Broadcasting Committee, discussing the launch of a third television channel, decided to provide the third channel to the BBC Corporation, because ITV did not seriously deal with this issue. On this occasion, the first BBC television channel was named BBC1.
The official start date for the broadcast was announced on April 20 at 19:20. The first program was to be a comedy show "The Alberts", in which they were going to show the number of the Soviet pop actor Arkady Raikin, who was touring the UK at that time. After "The Alberts" the musical "Kiss Me, Kate" was to follow, after which they were going to show a solemn firework, symbolizing the opening of the channel. However, at 6:45 p.m., a fire broke out at Battersea Power Station, causing a power outage throughout West London. Fortunately, BBC1 continued to broadcast from Alexandra Palace, but BBC2 was never launched. ITV submitted a request to occupy the third button, but was denied. At 22:00 it was announced that the issue of launching the TV channel was postponed until the next morning.
Since the center at Alexandra Palace was not damaged, from there at 19:25, announcer Gerald Priestland read out the program guide for tomorrow in the evening. This program guide was not thought to have been recorded on any medium, however in 2003 a program guide video cassette was discovered in the archives.
BBC Two HD
BBC Two's HD programming was originally broadcast on BBC HD alongside programs from BBC Three, BBC Four, CBBC and CBeebies. However, CEO Mark Thompson announced on 6 October that all TV channels would soon switch to HD, which would lead to the elimination of BBC HD. The switch to widescreen saved the corporation £2.1 million.

An excerpt characterizing BBC Two
After talking about Princess Mary and her dead father, whom Malvintseva apparently did not love, and asking what Nikolai knew about Prince Andrei, who, apparently, also did not enjoy her favors, the important old woman let him go, repeating the invitation to be with her.Nikolai promised and blushed again when he bowed to Malvintseva. At the mention of Princess Marya, Rostov experienced a feeling of shyness, incomprehensible to himself, even fear.
Departing from Malvintseva, Rostov wanted to return to dancing, but the little governor's wife put her plump hand on Nikolai's sleeve and, saying that she needed to talk to him, led him to the sofa room, from which those who were in it immediately left so as not to interfere with the governor's wife.
“You know, mon cher,” said the governor’s wife with a serious expression on her small kind face, “this is definitely a party for you; do you want me to marry you?
- Whom, ma tante? Nikolai asked.
- I'm marrying the princess. Katerina Petrovna says that Lily, but in my opinion, no, is a princess. Want? I'm sure your maman will thank you. Really, what a girl, lovely! And she's not that stupid at all.
“Not at all,” Nikolai said, as if offended. “I, ma tante, as a soldier should, do not ask for anything and do not refuse anything,” said Rostov before he had time to think about what he was saying.
So remember, this is not a joke.
- What a joke!
“Yes, yes,” said the governor’s wife, as if speaking to herself. - And here's something else, mon cher, entre autres. Vous etes trop assidu aupres de l "autre, la blonde. [My friend. You are too courting for that blond one.] The husband is really pathetic, right ...
“Ah, no, we are friends,” Nikolai said in simplicity of heart: it never occurred to him that such a fun pastime for him might not be fun for anyone.
“What nonsense I said, however, to the governor's wife! - Suddenly, over dinner, Nikolai remembered. “She will definitely start wooing, but Sonya? ..” And, saying goodbye to the governor’s wife, when she, smiling, once again told him: “Well, remember,” he took her aside:
“But here’s what, to tell you the truth, ma tante…
- What, what, my friend; let's go sit here.
Nikolai suddenly felt a desire and a need to tell all his sincere thoughts (those that he would not have told his mother, sister, friend) to this almost strange woman. Later, when he recalled this impulse of unprovoked, inexplicable frankness, which, however, had very important consequences for him, it seemed to Nicholas (as it always seems to people) that he had found a stupid verse; and yet this impulse of frankness, together with other minor events, had enormous consequences for him and for the whole family.
“That's it, ma tante. Maman has been wanting to marry me to a rich woman for a long time, but this thought alone is disgusting to me, marrying for money.
“Oh yes, I understand,” said the Governor.
- But Princess Bolkonskaya, that's another matter; Firstly, I'll tell you the truth, I like her very much, I like her, and then, after I met her in such a position, it was so strange, it often occurred to me that this was fate. Think especially: maman has been thinking about this for a long time, but I had never met her before, how it all happened like this: we didn’t meet. And at a time when Natasha was the bride of her brother, because then I would not have been able to think of marrying her. It is necessary that I met her exactly when Natasha's wedding was upset, and then that's all ... Yes, that's what. I haven't told anyone this and I won't. And you only.
The Governor shook his elbow gratefully.
“Do you know Sophie, cousin?” I love her, I promised to marry and marry her ... Therefore, you see that this is out of the question, ”Nikolai said awkwardly and blushing.
- Mon cher, mon cher, how do you judge? Why, Sophie has nothing, and you yourself said that your father's business was very bad. What about your maman? This will kill her. Then Sophie, if she is a girl with a heart, what kind of life will she have? The mother is in despair, things are upset... No, mon cher, you and Sophie must understand this.
Nicholas was silent. He was pleased to hear these conclusions.
“All the same, ma tante, this cannot be,” he said with a sigh, after a pause. - Will the princess still go for me? and again, she is now in mourning. Is it possible to think about it?
“Do you really think that I will marry you now?” Il y a maniere et maniere, [There is a manner for everything.] - said the governor's wife.
“What a matchmaker you are, ma tante…” Nicolas said, kissing her plump hand.
Arriving in Moscow after her meeting with Rostov, Princess Marya found there her nephew with a tutor and a letter from Prince Andrei, who prescribed them their route to Voronezh, to Aunt Malvintseva. Worries about moving, anxiety about her brother, the arrangement of life in a new house, new faces, the upbringing of her nephew - all this drowned out in the soul of Princess Marya that feeling of temptation that tormented her during her illness and after the death of her father, and especially after meeting with Rostov. She was sad. The impression of the loss of her father, united in her soul with the death of Russia, now, after a month that had passed since then in the conditions of a quiet life, was felt more and more strongly by her. She was anxious: the thought of the dangers to which her brother, the only close person left to her, was exposed, tormented her incessantly. She was preoccupied with the education of her nephew, for whom she felt constantly inadequate; but in the depths of her soul there was agreement with herself, which flowed from the consciousness that she crushed in herself the personal dreams and hopes that had risen, connected with the appearance of Rostov.
When the next day after her evening, the governor's wife came to Malvintseva and, after talking with her aunt about her plans (having made the reservation that, although under the present circumstances it is impossible to even think about formal matchmaking, it is still possible to bring young people together, let them get to know each other ), and when, having received the approval of her aunt, the governor’s wife under Princess Marya spoke about Rostov, praising him and telling how he blushed at the mention of the princess, Princess Marya experienced a feeling that was not joyful, but painful: her inner consent no longer existed, and again Desires, doubts, reproaches and hopes arose.
In those two days that passed from the time of this news to the visit to Rostov, Princess Marya did not stop thinking about how she should behave in relation to Rostov. Now she decided that she would not go out into the drawing room when he arrived at his aunt's, that it was indecent for her, in her deep mourning, to receive guests; then she thought it would be rude after what he had done to her; then it occurred to her that her aunt and the governor's wife had some kind of views on her and Rostov (their looks and words sometimes seemed to confirm this assumption); then she said to herself that only she, with her depravity, could think this about them: they could not help but remember that in her position, when she had not yet taken off her pleresis, such a courtship would be insulting both to her and the memory of her father. Assuming that she would come out to him, Princess Marya thought up the words that he would say to her and which she would say to him; and sometimes these words seemed to her undeservedly cold, sometimes having too much significance. Most of all, when meeting with him, she was afraid for embarrassment, which, she felt, should have taken possession of her and betrayed her as soon as she saw him.
But when, on Sunday after mass, the footman reported in the drawing room that Count Rostov had arrived, the princess did not show embarrassment; only a slight blush came to her cheeks, and her eyes lit up with a new, radiant light.
Have you seen him, auntie? said Princess Mary in a calm voice, not knowing herself how she could be so outwardly calm and natural.
When Rostov entered the room, the princess lowered her head for a moment, as if giving time to the guest to greet her aunt, and then, at the very moment that Nikolai turned to her, she raised her head and met his gaze with shining eyes. With a movement full of dignity and grace, she rose with a joyful smile, extended her thin, tender hand to him, and spoke in a voice in which for the first time new, feminine chest sounds sounded. M lle Bourienne, who was in the drawing room, looked at Princess Mary with perplexed surprise. The most skillful coquette, she herself could not have maneuvered better when meeting a person who needed to please.
“Either black suits her so much, or she really got so prettier, and I didn’t notice. And most importantly - this tact and grace! m lle Bourienne thought.
If Princess Mary had been able to think at that moment, she would have been even more surprised than m lle Bourienne at the change that had taken place in her. From the moment she saw that sweet, beloved face, some new force of life took possession of her and compelled her, against her will, to speak and act. Her face, from the time Rostov entered, suddenly changed. Suddenly, on the walls of a painted and carved lantern, that complex, skillful artistic work, which previously seemed rough, dark and meaningless, appears with unexpected striking beauty, when the light inside is lit: so suddenly the face of Princess Marya was transformed. For the first time, all that pure spiritual inner work by which she had lived until now came out. All her inner work, dissatisfied with herself, her suffering, striving for good, humility, love, self-sacrifice - all this now shone in those radiant eyes, in a thin smile, in every line of her tender face.
Rostov saw all this as clearly as if he had known her all her life. He felt that the creature that was before him was completely different, better than all those he had met up to now, and better, most importantly, than himself.
The conversation was the simplest and most insignificant. They talked about the war, involuntarily, like everyone else, exaggerating their sadness about this event, they talked about the last meeting, and Nikolai tried to divert the conversation to another subject, they talked about the good governor, about the relatives of Nikolai and Princess Mary.
Princess Mary did not speak of her brother, diverting the conversation to another subject as soon as her aunt spoke of Andrei. It was evident that she could talk about the misfortunes of Russia in a pretense, but her brother was a subject too close to her heart, and she did not want and could not talk lightly about him. Nikolai noticed this, as he generally, with penetrating observation unusual for him, noticed all the shades of Princess Marya's character, which all only confirmed his conviction that she was a very special and extraordinary creature. Nikolai, just like Princess Marya, blushed and was embarrassed when they told him about the princess and even when he thought about her, but in her presence he felt completely free and said not at all what he was preparing, but what instantaneously and always incidentally occurred to him.
BBC, British Broadcasting Corporation (eng. British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC) - a complex of radio and television broadcasting in the UK. The Corporation carries out internal television and radio broadcasting, as well as external, conducted by the BBC World Service.

BBC logos
For a relatively long time, the BBC went without a permanent logo. In 1936, when television broadcasting began, the breaks between broadcasts were filled with various test cards or simple captions. In 1953, Abram Games drew a logo in the spirit of that time, which received the nickname “bat wings” (eng. “Bat's wings”). A rotating globe was placed in the center of the logo, and for the BBC in Scotland in in the center is a lion.
The idea of the logo that appeared on the screens on September 30, 1963 was the longest used idea. The announcer said the words “you are watching BBC television” (Eng. “This is BBC Television”), and at this time, the oblique letters “BBC TV” appeared against the background of a rotating globe.
In the early 1990s, the letters evened out, leaving only two colors: black and white; also the font was changed to Gill Sans. This shows a connection with 1932, when the designer of this font, Eric Gill, was a key sculptor in work on the BBC Broadcasting House project
History of the BBC
The BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) was founded on 18 October 1922 as the British Broadcasting Organization Ltd. group of enterprises as a private entity. The first transmission was made on November 14 of the same year. In 1927, the organization was granted a royal privilege.
It itself was nationalized by the government, although it remained independent in editorial politics and enjoyed broad self-government. She began broadcasting outside of Britain in December 1932. The international broadcast of the "Imperial Service", as it was then called, was intended to unite the English-speaking population of the British Empire. Shortly after the start of the broadcast, King George V was the first of the monarchs to go on the radio with a Christmas greeting. He addressed "a people cut off by snows and deserts, to whom only ethereal voices can reach." The BBC began its first regular television broadcasts in November 1936, when all other broadcasters were only experimenting with transmission of images at a distance. The first two non-English services (Spanish for Latin America and Arabic) began operating in 1938. And by the beginning of World War II, the BBC was broadcasting in seven languages. Before the break in broadcasting caused by the war, the channel's audience numbered 25-40 thousand houses. The break was due to the fact that ultrashort transmission waves would have served as an excellent bearing for German bombers, and engineers and technicians were needed for military purposes.
In 1946 television broadcasting resumed from the Alexandra Palace. The BBC television Service broadcast a variety of programs reaching a wide audience. In the post-war period, a global “transistor revolution” took place, thanks to which millions of inexpensive radios appeared in the population. This led to an explosion in the worldwide radio audience, which was fought over by the BBC World Service and many other broadcasters.
After wars The BBC was the first television company in the world to create its own educational television programs and educational documentary television series, such as Wildlife and Walking with Dinosaurs.

Therefore, the opening of the channel took place by candlelight. BBC Two was the first British channel to broadcast in the ultra-high frequency range. The whole world knows the created data trust David Attenborough programs: Life on Earth, Private Life of Plants, Blue Planet and planet Earth. In 1967, BBC Two became the first channel in Europe broadcasting in color (BBC One and ITV only began broadcasting in color in November 1969).

Today the BBC owns two terrestrial and three cable TV channels. In addition, it includes 14 national digital radio stations, two websites and 40 magazines. Domestically, the BBC has 20 different TV channels, including the 24-hour news channel - BBC News.
The BBC is run by a board of directors (12 people) and a director general, who are appointed by the queen on the advice of the government. Financially, the BBC World Service existed at the expense of the Foreign Office (the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Commonwealth of Nations of Britain), but in October 2010 it relieved itself of these duties, transferring the BBC to the main balance of the British Broadcasting Corporation. The legal basis for the activities of the organization is the charter - the charter, in accordance with which the British Broadcasting Corporation exists. The current Charter entered into force in 2007 and will expire at the end of 2016.
