BBC
The BBC - the British Broadcasting Corporation. This is THE bbc, known worldwide for making television, radio, Internet, etc. BBC's realm now also includes Freeview
There are other entities called BBC, for example...
Boston Borough Council www.boston.gov.uk
Burbank Broadcasting Corporation in Cincinnati, Ohio - a comedy parody bit on radio station WLW starring Gary Burbank. He specializes in satiric and gentle humor.
Boston Bargain Centre - a shop in Boston where items are said to not be expensive.
Bob’s Bargain Centre - we are reliably informed that on Eastenders, that well known BBC1 Programme, there is a shop called Bob’s Bargain Centre which is sometimes visible when people are at the tube station!
I'm sure there are a lot of places with the acronym "BBC". Sometimes accidental or coincidental, and sometimes a deliberate irony. Any to add? e-mail
BBC not to be confused with BCC
