I'd hazard a guess at either Netflix or Amazon myself, as the "network", since neither "need" ratings (and the latter can almost certainly afford a punt or two)

Although I have seen one news report that seems to suggest the revival is for the BBC.  ign.com says that.  Although as the website can't seem to make up its mind whether it wants to focus on video games, film or TV, that probably speaks volumes.

That's the trope called Network Decay. IGN originally stood for Imagine Games Network, so anything not games related is deviating from it's original remit.
