BBC Parliament
Musing on what is probably the least-loved BBC channel:
Are the Westminster broadcasts on BBC Parliament Crown Copyright, or BBC Copyright? (I suspect I know the answer to this)
As it was once an independent company which was later bought by the BBC, there must have been a contract involved. Is it possible for somebody to compete for the live streams from Westminster (not necessarily compete for tender—I mean “as well as” rather than “instead of”)?
How would one go about licensing BBC Parliament’s live streams for rebroadcast? Who would you talk to? Given the nature of the broadcasts, is there any obligation for the BBC to allow it? Obviously, there are costs involved in production—interestingly, the BBC actually uses ITV facilities for BBC Parliament, which must be paid for.
