The popular newspapers or «tabloids»
Type of newspaper that has smaller pages, many pictures, and short reports. They like shocking, personal stories.

BBC 1
BBC 1 broadcasts a schedule of news, information programmes, documentaries, plays, films and light entertainment (such as comedies and quiz shows) from early morning to late at night.
ITV
ITV started in 1954. Commercial television gets its money from advertising. The programmes on this channel are financed by different companies, which do not have anything to do with the content of these programmes. ITV news programmes are not made by individual television companies. Independent Television News is owned jointly by all of them. So it has been protected from commercial influence.
BBC and ITV start early in the morning. One can watch news programmes, all kinds of chat shows, quiz shows, soap operas, different children’s programmes, dramas, comedies and different programmes of entertainment on these channels. ITV's schedule is similar, but its presentation is generally slicker and more 'glossy'. Its programmes are cast round the clock.
Radio
