Perhaps so, but that doesn't mean that contracts can't reflect what the BBC wants to do in terms of showing these programmes.

A few years ago, there were restrictions on which programmes could be made available on demand and through catch-up. Now, that requirement is built into the carriage agreements and pricing structure.
