Access route

Article Abstract:

The BBC believes that the issue of how independent television programme production companies will work with its in-house production departments has now been clarified. The BBC Broadcast directorate will be responsible for contracting and managing independent production companies, while existing relationships between independent firms and in-house producers will be encouraged. The Independent Commissioning Group will give independent firms direct access to BBC controllers, and this may make working with BBC Production less attractive.
