The two examples you chose, demonstrate the opposite of your point.

One is a subscription service, meaning they aren't reliant on their advertising for most of the finances.

The other is a quasi-govt entity, whose funding comes substantially from a tv license fee.

The BBC as a whole, yes - but “BBC Worldwide”: the arm that runs the World Service channel and foreign broadcasting is self-sufficient and does run ads. Though I’m unsure how the accounting works for profits it gets for programs it licenses out when they’re made by the BBC’s domestically funded divisions.
