The BBC will also commit to ongoing <br>> funding of up to £5m per annum from 2014/15 to <br>> acquire content for use on its own services from <br>> these new services. Should capital costs be <br>> required earlier then this will be facilitated by <br>> access to the existing digital switchover underspend by mutual agreement."<br>> <br>> Source (and letter in full):<br>> http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/oct/22/bbc-funding-settlement-jeremy-hunt<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> <br>> cma-l mailing list - cma-l@commedia.org.uk<br>> <br>> Community Media Association - www.commedia.org.uk<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> <br>> To manage your mailing list subscription please visit:<br>> http://mailman.commedia.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/cma-l<br></div> </body>
