Summary sheet
Corporate facility to finance the expansion of BBCW's investments in BBC's new productions over the period 2002-2004. BBCW's portfolio of programmes focuses on news, education (incl. digital curriculum) and entertainment (incl. children programmes and music).
Public service broadcasting plays an important role in promoting cultural diversity, in providing educational programming, in guaranteeing objective and pluralistic information and in supplying quality programming. In addition, this project will sustain the audiovisual production sector since the realisation of the BBC programmes is mainly done by independent producers. By re-investing the proceeds of its earnings in BBC programmes, BBCW enhances investment in public service programming and in the creative arts in Britain.
Not applicable.
In compliance with appropriate EU Directives.
