It's a broadcasting company, not a tv channel.
Their charter "specifies that the mission of the Corporation is to inform, educate and entertain. It states that the Corporation exists to serve the public interest and to promote its public purposes: sustaining citizenship and civil society, promoting education and learning, stimulating creativity and cultural excellence", according to Wikipedia.
A free market comparison might be BSkyB. They have about a 20% bigger revenue. I don't think they do work just as well. I think the BBC is a national treasure (and I don't live there, I just buy their DVDs such as "Planet Earth").
