We can blame the BBC for over extending themselves launching channel after channel with a HD variant whilst expecting the tax payer to fund them. If the BBC reverts back to BBC1, BBC2 and the radio stations it's will do just fine.
It's the BBC's fault it spread its funding to thinly. |

c'mon now its 2016 guys the bbc like any business should be allowed to go out of business if they cannot fund themselves properly. state controlled television should be out the door. this isnt the 1950s people have choices now and can watch hundreds of privately owned tv channels instead of being under a bbc monopoly like it used to be. 'aunty' is irrelevent nowadays

Major's Government ordered the BBC to use Indy's for 25% of their commissions. Labour increased it to 50%.
The Tories though, are trying to get them to use Indy's for 100% of commissions, but I think that it just means that all programmes must be put out to tender for Indy's to enable them a chance of producing then, even if the BBC chooses BBC Studios for value for money in the end. |

I'm sure the people on here who are attacking the BBC for letting the show go would be attacking them if they'd paid the inflated price asked of them. So they really can't win.

As someone who has only rarely watched the show and is surprised at how overhyped it is, it's no loss if it does move to C4 - for those that still want to watch it they can still for free.
In one of the reports linked to earlier in the thread (from the Guardian), it was a little surprising that none of the stars were consulted during negotations... it does seem that it's the chemistry between the presenters (rather than the rather simple show itself) that lifts this from a Sunday morning filler to the ratings juggernaut it has become... so without getting any agreement with the presenters to come with the show to C4 is a bit of a risk. |

Any ideas what programmes Channel 4 are going to have to drop to pay for it?

In the long term the advertisers will pay for the product, we should all congratulate channel 4 for some nifty business. You really have to laugh at the bloated BBC and their £5,000,000,000 per annum income. They couldn't even compete with another broadcaster who are on just a small percentage of their scrounging money. |

Yes the BBC has more money than channel 4 but it also uses that to pay for a much wider array of service's including many radio station's including local one's so your comparison of channel 4 with the BBC in that regard really isn't relevant. |

If the hosts/judges don't go to C4, what's to stop the BBC from producing literally the same show under a new name? If they can call it their own, there's no risk of something like this happening again.
Love Productions don't own the concept of a baking show. New name, same 10 million+ viewers. BBC still wins, right? |

I always thought it was produced by the BBC . Amazed it was a private company . So is it made entirely away from the BBC or does this private company with all its own staff move into a BBC studio to film it?
Great shame the BBC has lost so many great programmes due to the excessive greed of commercial outfits . I bet there will be a big drop in viewers when it does move . |

well my first reaction is to let C4 be privateised if this is how they wish to behave.
I guess its better than it going to ITV, but god I hope Love Productions is unoffically banned from recieving licence fee payers money in the money, not sure I like that they are not just going to profit from it, with a show no longer on the BBC. |

So it goes to Channel 4, better than ITV I guess but a catastrophe for the BBC. If Channel 4 can afford it I'm sure the BBC could.

And just remember everyone.... It's just a programme about baking |

It will be interesting to see where this leaves the other programmes they make for the BBC - The Great Sport Relief Bake Off, Bake Off: Crème De La Crème, The Great British Sewing Bee and The Chronicles of Nadiya which is currently showing on BBC. Will the BBC have a hissy fit and drop the lot?

anything with Bake Off in the title, would go to C4 I would have thought. There is no point in the BBC airing Bake Off: Crème De La Crème, its just going to cause confusion, and only benefit C4, and Loves profits.
The Great British Sewing Bee is its own contract, but it would be no huge loss. & The Chronicles of Nadiya ( I just checked) is a Love production, but unless she is tied to working only for Love for X number of years after her apperance on GBBO, there is no reason she cant work with another production company. |

Seeing as the BBC got castigated for spending £22m for 2 seasons of another bought-in format (The Voice), there would no doubt have been a similar outcry had they paid this sort of crazy money. |
