Thanks. Now why are videos in the year of 2022 still restricted to a specific area? Snooker??

Because it's on the BBC and the BBC is funded by tv license fees and not by advertising.

No, because the BBC only has the rights for the UK. Doesn't matter how they are financed.

This one backs up your point but contradicts the other three that I was able to find:

>Due to rights agreements, you need to be in the UK to stream and download programmes or watch BBC TV channels on BBC iPlayer.

​

Edit: On reflection I think there's no contradiction. BBC requires a license to use iplayer due to how it's funded (my point). BBC acquires programming under the agreement that said programming will only be available online to license payers (the rights agreements as per your point)
