The televisual arm of the British Broadcasting Corporation is in charge of the British terrestrial channels BBC 1 and BBC 2, the international BBC Worldwide, and the new digital channels such as BBC Choice, so known becuase the public chooses not to watch it :-).

BBC TV is best known for its brilliant documentaries, its amusing comedies, and its engaging drama. Unfortunately, it is no longer known for its coverage of sports events, as the BBC has lost Formula One racing, Test Match cricket, boxing, and most football matches to its compeititors.
