Since 1995 the Palace has been a Grade II listed building. It was
designed to be The People's Palace and later nicknamed (allegedly

I believe that you would see some big players come forward to take
advantage of the service. At the same time it opens the power of the
BBC to lesser known artists, independent studios and even totally
independent artists (a bit like a book publisher who accepts
unsolicited manuscripts).
