As I said ... channels that buy content produced elsewhere, have the when/how often/for how long written into the deal. The BBC is a producer and broadcaster of first-run material and its licences and fees reflect that.

Also, as I said ... it is not a "problem" in the sense of whether it can be done or not. It is a problem in the sense of whether it is cost effective for the BBC to do it, also taking its public service status into account.
