I'm not sure what is meant by the songs being denied us on TV all these years. They've featured in adverts (Help and Revolution) and "A Hard Day's Night" was on TV this year. The recent ITV drama doc "Cilla" featured tracks written by The Beatles too.
Cheers, I never knew of his past ownership of this material.
