Dave is owned by BBC Studios, which is the commercial arm that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the BBC.
- hnlmorg 6y agoDave / UKTV might be owned by the BBC but they're not funded by the licence fee and operate independently. Much like the BBC America example I cited elsewhere. As you said yourself, it's a commercial station. So they wouldn't be subject to the same "squeezed" licence fee funding that we are discussing.
