The BBC Red Button has a full schedule, e.g. for tomorrow:

However, independent of that, it isn't for the BBC to use their resources to rebroadcast any third party channel - that isn't what the licence fee is for.

No other OFCOM licensee will rebroadcast something unless they are 100% sure it will comply, and not leave them with regulatory problems.
