The BBC is established under a Royal Charter[7] and operates under its Agreement with the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport.[8] Its work is funded principally by an annual television licence fee[9] which is charged to all British households, companies, and organisations using any type of equipment to receive or record live television broadcasts.[10] The fee is set by the British Government, agreed by Parliament,[11] and used to fund the BBC's extensive radio, TV, and online services covering the nations and regions of the UK. From 1 April 2014 it also funds the BBC World Service, which provides comprehensive TV, radio, and online services in Arabic, and Persian, and broadcasts in 28 languages.
