This is something the ABC in Australia should be moving towards.
Most of its material is locked away in vaults. It should be in the public domain. The ABC should be moving to allow people to download clips of ABC factual programmes from abc.net for non-commercial use, keep them on their PCs, manipulate and share them, so making the ABC's archives more accessible to Australian citizens.
the BBC are going gangbusters... I got to give a big plug for their digital radio stations (like 1xtra) which are broadcast only via the web and the digital set-top boxes in the UK... kwality all the way (no amateur rinky-dink internet music channel), and they've got a world-wide audience and community
of course, they've also got the license fee
