Why can’t we get our favourite BBC shows on the BBC channels in Scandinavia?
BBC Worldwide Channels are put together by an experienced group of programme schedulers who fill each day with the best programmes they believe our audiences will enjoy. We buy programmes from the BBC and other broadcasters. Sometimes, the rights to broadcast some programmes have already been sold to other broadcasters in Scandinavia, and therefore the rights are not available for the BBC channels. Furthermore, BBC Worldwide must compete for programmes and pay a fair market rate to secure programme rights, and this includes the buying of BBC content. We always buy the best shows possible and have made a large investment in programmes for Scandinavia.
