They could do what they hell they like with their money, if they still weren't primarily funded by the licence fee.
Granada television could line the bar of the Rovers Return in gold leaf if they so wished, the fact is they have earned their right to do so by competing in the market place, something the BBC doesn't have to do at the moment.
BBC Scotland spent sixty million pounds on a Scottish soap that we don't even get here, and not many people in Scotland bother to watch either.
Then there was the financial disaster El Doraldo, the soap set in Spain with it's purpose built set and cast of muppets.................
