Petition · past parliament

Request the BBC to stockpile iPlayer with archive tv during the Corona pandemic

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Request that the BBC start piling up archive programming onto the iPlayer. Entertainment, educational, DIY, cooking, anything!
Because we need entertaining in these uncertain times and whilst the license fee is being questioned, let’s remind ourselves why the BBC is where it is and so everyone can get their monies worth.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is a matter for the BBC.
