a lot of the stuff they cant sell commerically because of the limitations placed on the BBC. They do have a commercial arm (which is what runs dave) but it's confusing quite what that owns (right's wise).
- theblackbox 17y agoTrue. I remember reading about the pressure being put on BBC's commercial arm by the British press due to the vast sums of money it can rake in. The problem being that license payers have paid for this, and so should be considered shareholders(?), and yet we get no choice in how BBC media is used commercially or how the fortunes are reinvested. Seems a shame that the BBC cowers in the background, perpetually outputting a standard quality product when in truth it has the opportunity to truly innovate. Dunno, maybe I'm just expecting too much from them, but I can't help but think that somewhere along the line, they missed a trick.
