BBC

London media giant

BBC stands for British Broadcasting Corporation, the United Kingdom's public broadcaster.

Founded in 1922, it remains one of the world's most recognized news and media organizations: I heard it on the BBC.

The BBC is funded by a television license fee rather than advertising.

In pornography, BBC is vulgar slang for "big Black cock."
