Conclusion
We understand why the BBC might have a strategy to bid for content that would attract audiences, especially younger viewers. However, at a time of constrained resources, the BBC should not be paying over the odds for 54 overseas content, particularly when it’s bidding against other commercial UK broadcasters to do so. We do not believe that this provides value for money for the licence fee payer. (Conclusion, Paragraph 70)
