Sounds like the end of the road for the *Creative* Archive. This
announcement squares with the fact that the Creative Archive pilot ended
back in September but the promised 'Public Value' test is nowhere in
site. This new archive proposal seems to be a real step back to simple
read-only access archive with, it seems, no guarantee of open access or
absence of DRM.

"The trial would also be used for the BBC to understand just how much
content should be offered free to viewers and "where we should draw the
line between a licence fee funded service and a commercial service,"
said the BBC executive.
The BBC hopes that the archive would one day be available online, and on
TVs via set-top boxes, either future Freeview players or via Internet
Protocol TV."
