Public ownership is paid through TV licences, which everybody has to have if they own a TV. The public have to pay £145.50 per year for a colour TV licence. However if they want a black and white TV licence (which in these days is extremely rare) they only have to pay £49. There are others though, who get discounts, and sometimes don't have to pay at all. Blind people and care home residents get reduced fees, where people aged 75 and over don't have to pay at all. A prime example of public ownership is BBC, who get funding from the government through the licence fee.Private ownership is paid through their own methods, such as advertisement, membership and sponsorship. SKY and ITV are good examples of this.
