	Programming
		From this view, ultimately, television programming is a historically developed, changing cultural system for circulating and transforming meaning and value--a system collectively shared and supported by television producers, distributors, and users, who sub-scribe to and bend its priorities through their participation.
		Programming, then, is a process for imbuing public value which--advertisers, celebrities, government officials, cultural monitors, and program producers all hope--can be traded in later for cash or the political power to continue their specific forms of program production and distribution.
		Programming had to conform respectively, to the dramatic expectations and financial investments provided by advertisers, to the ideological goals and prescriptions of government bureaucracies, or to the standards of cultural guardians and tutors.

	Britain throws a lifeline to BBC by keeping its fee - Business - International Herald Tribune
		The most contentious aspect of the BBC's structure is the way it is financed, almost entirely through the annual fee levied on owners of television sets.
		The BBC's broadcast competitors, which generate income through commercials, say that the license fee is antiquated and should be abandoned or shared with other broadcasters whose programming also has a public-service requirement, like Channel Four.
		The BBC wants an increase in the fee, with a potential increase to £180 a year by 2013.

	Can the BBC put its archive online? - By Paul Boutin - Slate Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Kahle's estimate, based on his 9/11 Television Archive project, is that a rack of low-cost Linux machines could store and serve one channel-year of television, plus a backup copy, on less than $50,000 worth of disks at today's prices.
		By the time the BBC gets rolling, you might as well cut that number in half: Disk prices have been falling even faster than CPU speeds are rising, halving every nine months by some estimates.
		The Creative Archive's license could allow unlimited viewing, editing, and reuse of the digitized BBC programs, which are funded by an annual TV fee (don't call it a tax unless you're ready for a pub brawl) on UK viewers.
