While I'm not sure of the arrangements that the BBC have with David Lowe, regardless of what they are, it'll be cheaper to use existing music than to commission new stuff. Though such costs aren't likely to be huge, I do wonder if the experimental nature of the new channel's budget has meant certain expenditures have been delayed until after the first year to see how much wriggle room there is in it.There have been so many variations of the standard David Lowe theme over the past 24 years. I’m sure they could re-use themes from strands that are no longer running for current programmes. Very few would notice, and it’d provide a bit of much needed variety.
