Merry christmas mate. Hope its a good one!

does anyone think a ton of bbc and itv archives are being wasted? I see tons of episodes of classic eastenders and classic coronation street on youtube and they get shut down due to copyright strikes.

Is there a reason why itv and bbc dont monetise the archives? for example even if they dont want to upload to itv player or iplayer or britbox why not upload to youtube? get something back at least

for example wwe wrestlers used to get paid whenever dvds or videos with them on were sold. But with streaming they got a ton less it was like a token amount

i suppose with all the episodes out there it may still add up

One of the proposals for helping with BBC funding is for archive material to be made available for a fee.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)

Quite a lot of the comedy/drama archive from BBC (and ITV) is now showing on the free channels on Freeview, VirginMedia linear and stream, and on Sky linear - but most is NOT available on Sky Stream/Glass.

VirginMedia is missing Rewind TV - but so is Sky Stream. Sky Stream also missing Talking Pictures and the That's family.

In the US they still have Britbox which has now added BBC documentary content to it's top tier.

Does 'archive material' fall under the same label as 'repeats' do you think?

Because we've been paying for those all the time
