Thats a false economy though really isnt it Rob?.
C5 might be beating C4 by a few hundred thousand viewers with a show that costs them £20 million pounds a year for 18 weeks a year but after it has finished it has nothing to show for it when the show isnt airing whereas C4 are left with a homegrown show that it owns the rights to.
They will make a lot more money selling international TV rights for a show to other Stations or Licensing the Idea to other Production Company's overseas to make their own version.
Its that kind of thinking that has won them TV station of the year,

Rather than revelling in the fact that their show won by a few thousand C4 is making the TV rather than buying it and giving British producers a platform to work on and stimulating the British TV and film economy in to boot.

C5 are a trash station they just buy TV shows and try and make a few quid out of the Ad revenue they are pretty much bottom feeders.
