Religious programming - breakdown of costs and hours of output

The request was refused by British Broadcasting Corporation.

Vincent Aleck

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please provide a breakdown by year for the last 10 years, or all the years records are available, showing:

a) BBC’s expenditure on, and
b) the number of hours of programming broken down by period (e.g. “Monday-Friday 7-9pm”, “Sunday before 9am” – please use your own scheme here if easier) of

religious programming of the following classes:
1) Christian beliefs
2) Jewish beliefs
3) Muslim beliefs
4) Hindu beliefs
5) Secular beliefs
6) Other religious beliefs - specified if information available

Please consider your response in light of the Information Commissioner’s decision notice number FS50085710 of January 8th 2008 i.e. the acknowledgement that financial information is held for operational reasons and has little bearing on creative decision making. (http://www.ico.gov.uk/upload/documents/d...)

Many thanks for your prompt reply.

Yours faithfully,

Vincent Aleck
