It's not quite that simple - it would need to be tied and timed to the audio, not just a dummy carrier signal. This would introduce a substantial post processing load to the radio signal - I guess there isn't a huge demand for it, to offset the effort required?

not sure what you are trying to say here - the BBC do NOT control, provide, support or maintain the video on demand platform. They are just a content provider. For much of the live stuff (like news) they don't even "provide" the content, it is
captured from the broadcast feed and then post processed to add the iPlayer / BBC idents.
The BBC cannot play standalone audio content on the Virgin Media platform.
