And if you compare the cost per viewer/hour, BBC Alba is quite a bit more expensive than BBC3 - figures from 2010 (I can't find any more recent) show that BBC Alba cost 29.4p per viewer, per hour, whilst BBC3 cost 16.8p per viewer, per hour.

It's all small fish when you think BBC paid £180m for the rights to show premier league highlights for 3 years and an undisclosed (but no doubt huge) sum for FA Cup rights which they outbid ITV for.
It's sport and US imports that I think BBC should be cutting back on and focus on things not supplied by the commercial sector and half the license fee while they are at it.
