Two answers:


Dave was referring to beeb.com which is a commercial service run by BBC 

Worldwide (a commercial organisation). As such it receives no licence-fee 

money whatever. Quite the opposite in fact - BBC Worldwide contributes 

money to the BBC (Corporation) which goes towards programme-making. If it 

wasn't for BBC Worldwide, the licence fee would be much higher!


BTW, what does mundane tv programming have to do with UKNM. Surely you want 

alt.tv.whinge?


All the best,
