Statement on Great British Bake Off
The BBC made the following statement on 12 September 2016 regarding The Great British Bake Off.
Published: 12 September 2016
Working with Love Productions, we have grown and nurtured the programme over seven series and created the huge hit it is today.
We made a very strong offer to keep the show but we are a considerable distance apart on the money. The BBC's resources are not infinite.
GBBO is a quintessentially BBC programme. We hope Love Productions change their mind so that Bake Off can stay ad free on BBC One.
