What it means is that it will be able to make its own programmes, but whether that means they will have to make a certain amount I don't know.
It would be in their (and their owners the government's) interest of course because they don't own any of its programmes. Having some IP to sell and make money from will benefit the corporation. How they do that will be interesting, they'll either start a production dept from scratch or buy a small indie.
The idea will be unpopular with independent production companies of course.
