LEGAL AND ETHICAL ISSUES WITH THE BBC.
Because the BBC is such a big, famous and influential company, they need to make sure that they stick to the rules and that they make sure that their representations and effects are good.
One example of this is watershed. If a smaller TV channel put something inappropriate on before 9pm they might get away with it since not as many people would have seen it so it's not that big a deal but then if the BBC did something like that, they would be a in a lot of trouble because of how big they are and how many people would be effected by this.
Another example would be when the have controversial issues on their TV shows. They need to be very careful that the issues are represented in the right way so they don't cause offence.
