Peter Salmon, the Director of the nascent BBC Studios division, has been touring his new fiefdom in a range of three-piece-suits, and blogged about the opportunities ahead on Friday. Unfortunately, he made an assumption that the Studios will become a commercial subsidiary...

No doubt there will be lots of television production companies active in the UK in the future. But only one of them is guaranteed to be owned in this country and operated on behalf of the British public, working right across the UK.

Not yet your call, Peter.

A longer version of his thoughts will appear in an upcoming IPPR publication. IPPR's chairman is Andrew Adonis, who replaced James Purnell when he got his current BBC gig.
