I would hope so with a £5.1 billion budget. That's more than half the FTSE 100 companies.

- nekopa 11y agoThe engineering team has a budget that big? Do you know what the budgets are for the other aspects of the BBC? Like TV and radio broadcasting, production of TV and radio shows, administration, HR and other areas? Edit: found an old breakdown here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC#Expenditure https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC#Expenditure Seems like their whole technology department has a budget of £175m
- kokey 11y agoEurope average R&D spend cross industry is just above 4%, but that's mostly pulled up by R&D on healthcare (which is closer to 18%). Without healthcare I think it's around 2%. I would hope to see them spend at least £100m on R&D, but that's obviously not just on broadcast technology.
