It’s purely about the power of advertising. It is the most trusted news channel in the uk with around 70% of the country watching BBC One for their news. The second most popular news channel is ITV at 49%.
So they could launch an appeal without the BBC but they could be missing up to half the population. Although it’s difficult to tell because they could also be missing none of the population if those that don’t watch ITV watch other non-BBC channels.
I think that the concern that they have (regarding the ability to actually deliver aid) is valid. We’ve heard a lot of stories about aid delivery not working so how are the aid agencies going to ensure that they can use the money that they collect from the appeal for the specified purpose?
