    Technically not it isnt. Its run via a Trust through ringfenced hypothecated taxation (the licence fee). Similar to how hospitals and schools are run (though you have to pay those taxes). It has certainly been influenced by Government in recent years and had many Trust board and executives from Tory ranks.
