It helps when entering the marketplace, but it's otherwise insignificant.

Regardless of origin, both Top of the Pops and Gardeners World are strong

brands. In recent months we've seen brands that started elsewhere become TV

shows - OK! TV, for example. You won't see this on the BBC though - BBC

policy and planning prohibit it.


The number of restrictions facing beeb.com staff are considerable. Other

media players such as Carlton Online have much more freedom to do what they

want commercially. This is something that the British Internet Publishers

Alliance (BIPA) tend to forget when banging their drum about the BBC's

activities on-line.

What do you mean by trails?
