I suspect part of the reason the BBC relies on the archive increasingly for the iPlayer is because it's been curtailed when it comes to new content though. Of course it also acts as a hook to bring people in to view new content.
In many ways though the BBC are trying to have their cake and eat it when it comes to archive content and both exploit it commercially through third party deals and exploit it themselves on the iPlayer. What it does do is make the iPlayer a more realistic alternative to a subscription service as people cut back on subscriptions, and that in itself is arguably some kind of PSB.
