Not to be rude or anything - but you go to the library or school to be
educated. There IS no ulterior motive other than learning with schools
and
educational halls. With television, there's only the bottom line:
Money.

That's why Britain has an independent (-ish) broadcaster paid for by a
trifling public levy. The BBC isn't a money-making organisation, it's
a break-even organisation. And, yes, we *do* expect to be educated by
radio and TV:

The BBC charter still contains the statement of purpose "to inform,
educate and entertain".
