Literature review revealed that the BBC is not funded by government funding. It is funded through license fees paid directly by viewers. This distinction is important. A transactional relationship between any service provider and the consumer ensures that the service provider is driven by the needs of the payer.

Recently, Mariah Carey had an outburst on Facebook when a sound engineer accidentally uploaded the wrong version of her song, “The Art of Letting Go.” Carrey took it upon herself to rant on Facebook about the mistake of the employee, why she didn’t catch it, and ultimately decided to leave the old version up in order to compare the two songs.
