Even mainstream press picked up on this story so it is no news that Project Canvas has gotten the green light from the BBC Trust nearly 18 months to the date after being submitted.

For those who are more interested in how this will impact the rest of the broadcast industry (in my view, significantly, now that Sky have to share some of its premium channels and Virgin no longer have channels), there is this link to a chart showing how Canvas’s nearly £50M in marketing spend stacks up against the rest of the industry.
