BBC Studios To Loose Strictly Come Dancing?
Apparently the BBC Studios are likely to loose Strictly altogether.

"Loose"? I think you mean "lose".
I did notice that there is a question mark after the heading in the article which probably means it is all speculation. |

http://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-...le-license-fee It's an example of not wanting the BBC to make successful, popular programs, because commercial companies want that genre for themselves - to make bigger profits. The BBC get fixed payments from all television viewers, so they should be required to produce popular programs. Telling them to make programs for minorities would undermine the way the BBC is financed. |

There are plenty of BBC 'flagship' programs that are already outsourced or externally produced. Hat Trick productions have always made "Have I got news for you".

Not really. We don't pay for the TV licence as we are both well over 75! However, we have always paid up until my husband became 75.

http://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-...le-license-fee Given how many people currently complain about the current producers, I would think this must be music to their ears!!!! Also given how many times the government does a u-turn on its policies, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the whole idea is dropped by this time next week ![]() ![]()

As with the scheduling nonsense it's the papers taking a true aspect of the White Paper and then misapplying it to Strictly because it makes for better clickbait than if they did their jobs properly and talked about it in its proper context of less "glamorous" programmes.. I'm sure we're due for "STRICTLY FORCED TO HAVE ALL BLACK CELEBRITY CAST DUE TO DRIVE FOR DIVERSITY?" and "GOVERNMENT MINISTERS TO BE INCLUDED ON STRICTLY JUDGING PANEL TO PROVIDE EDITORIAL OVERSIGHT?" headlines soon enough...

Lord Hall is pressing ahead with making BBC Studios subsidiary company, so all that needs to happen is that BBC Studios puts in a quality bid at a reasonable price.

With thanks to DS member marke09, who posted this extract from the White Paper in a Broadcasting thread: Quote:
"The government therefore proposes full competition for all the BBC’s television and online content spend, and will remove all existing in-house guarantees, with the exception of news and news-related current affairs. This change will empower commissioners to select the very best content for licence fee payers, from the BBC’s own producers and creative talent as well as from independent producers.
The BBC will continue to have to meet the independent production quota in television, and the government will also retain production quotas in the nations and regions." SO IN HOUSE BBC will still be able to make programmes for the BBC - and the 100% threshold wont be reached until the end of charter period with a review in the mid term review |
