In Britain there are five main TV channels: BBC 1, BBC 2, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5. BBC 1 and 2 are national channels while ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 are private.
One of the big differences between Russian and British TV is that there is no advertising on the national channels. The money for the programmes comes from the TV licence, which costs £145.50 per year.
The BBC and ITV also have regional companies which show programmes in other languages, for example Welsh (the language of Wales) or Scottish Gaelic (the language of Scotland).
Many families also have satellite dishes and watch channels like Sky Movies, MTV and Eurosport.
