I can't find a link to the statement made to this question asked of the BBC Controller.  But this sort of covers the attitude.  It's all to do with BBC1 being the "flagship" channel.

"Controller’s vision for the service in 2013/2014
I aim to maintain and grow BBC One’s position as the most watched and hugely appreciated channel in the UK. It is the job of the channel to combine programmes of the highest quality and distinctiveness with a tone and approach that allows them to appeal to the widest possible audiences. "

B*ll*cks!
