Which organization was established in 1926 in the UK?

• A. BBC
• B. ITV
• C. Royal Navy
• D. MI5

Answer: (A)

In the 1920s, radio in the UK moved from private companies toward a single national broadcaster with public status. The British Broadcasting Company began in the early 1920s, and in 1926 it was reconstituted as a public corporation through a Royal Charter, becoming the British Broadcasting Corporation. That change marks the establishment of the BBC in that year, fitting the question’s date. ITV didn’t come into existence until 1955, and the Royal Navy and MI5 have much longer or different origins (the Navy far earlier, MI5 in the early 20th century).
