Spending priorities

Kevin Lygo, Director of TV at ITV, on the BBC pushing US shows in iPlayer during the Euros: 'I was a bit surprised to see such promotional airtime given to some re-runs or 'pre-loved', as we call it now, American programming.

'It's just I don't quite understand why when the BBC are falling on so much difficulty with money and the cost of programming and so forth and struggling to fund something like Newsnight properly, that they can find the money to buy Suits and Gossip Girl and things like that.'
