BBC NOT Wasting TV Licence Payers Money on Adwords

I just did a search for “profigold HDMI cables” on Google. Showing clearly is an advert for the BBC. It links to an FAQ about HD TV.

Thanks to John from thedaddy.org for correctly pointing out that the BBC’s commercial enterprises go through BBC Worldwide which is not funded through the license fee. If it’s purely a commercial exercise they might want to land people on a different page in order to monetize the traffic 😉

  1. I think you’ll find that any commercial ventures of the BBC go through the BBC’s profit making wing – BBC Worldwide which is not funded by the license fee.
    By the same token you could also be incorrectly whinging about the Radio Times and the entire BBC DVD catalogue.
