It has never allowed commercial advertising on terrestrial channels or radio - it has been government / license fee funded since its conception.

No, not commercial advertising. The only advertising I can recall which wasn't programme related would be the value you get from the BBC for the cost of the TV licence.

It has never been a commercial service.
On a personal note, nor should it be
It's own product endorsements, it's idents and previews of programs are great to see a few times, but when shown dozens of times throughout the day, they become so mind numbing.
(Laboratory tests have shown that subjects who are exposed to constant and repetitive images suffer damage to brain cells)

No it did not, except, of course for it´s own products (books, casettes, CDs etc).
