Rejected petition Give BBC more dollar so they can get back GBBO from CHANNEL 4. #SAVEGBBO

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure what action you would like the Government or Parliament to take.

The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government, meaning that the Government cannot require the BBC to buy specific programmes.

You could start a new petition asking for more funding for BBC in general, if that's what you would like to happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
