While I have been told by a friend (who has worked in various media companies) there is a lot of wastage at the BBC, it's worth remembering that in terms of production at least, they are generating a lot of HD (and even 3D) coverage that is then sold on to other broadcasters all over the world.

It's also not fair on the BBC to compare them to Channel 4. The BBC still produce a lot of their own output. Channel 4 doesn't. They act as a conduit for TV from other companies (including BBC productions from time to time).
