Not seen this mentioned but a few tantalising quotes that the BBC are ready
to start unlocking the archives.

Surely a radio station re-broadcasting entire Peel shows would be a
brilliant thing

"John Moran, BBC Radio Head of Business Affairs, said: “We are pleased to
be working with TeamRock to begin to unlock the BBC radio archive for
further broadcast through new partnerships with commercial radio. The
digital rebroadcast of this programme shows how gems from the archive can
still reach new audiences.”

RadioCentre also welcomes the development, with Linda Smith, CEO saying:
“We have argued for a long time that the BBC should unlock some of its
great content through partnerships with commercial broadcasters. This deal
sets an important precedent and I look forward to the BBC doing similar
deals with other radio stations”.
