would they, why can't the BBC raise revenue by doing what all the other channels do and that is advertising, after all it does so often, promoting it's own programmes endlessly, has guest celebs on the One Show and other chat shows, promoting their book, film, gig, which is all advertising in one form or another. Don't have so many people to read the rolling 24 hour news, any number on location around the country, either getting snowed on, or drenched to the skin, the meteorologists are pretty good at explaining what the weathers doing. That is without building a state of the art centre in Salford, and moving many of your staff

Because as soon as a broadcaster becomes dependent on advertising then ratings become paramount.
I know the BBC already produces mass market programmes that trounce the commercial channels but the difference would be at the margins.
How many high quality natural history programmes are made by the commercial stations? Would Radio 3 or 4 be commercially viable? Would Watchdog be able to criticise a major advertiser? Would the Olympics coverage have been so extensive?
BTW the number of people reading news is a red herring
1. the cost is insignificant in the overall cost per hour 2. In 'Rolling News' it allows one news anchor to take a briefing through their earpiece or screen while the other is speaking 3. News staff are different to the old days of News Readers ; they don't just turn up and receive a script from an editor, they are also 'rolling' from studio to office where they are preparing their own material for the next broadcast.
