How does closing linear channels like BBC Three and Four and moving them online save money? Based on what's been described the content will just be online. So wouldn't the BBC still be paying for the rights to that programming and production of that content (which I assume would be the majority of the budget for each channel)? Do production companies charge more if the BBC broadcast them on TV than make them on demand online? Is transmission much more expensive than I assume? Or is it some other factor(s)?
