IMO Blue Peter continues to be produced in order to please certain nostalgic individuals and Guardian journalists, as well as ticking certain boxes in the BBC, but it's not a programme that many parents of children ever expect that their children will watch, nor is it ever a programme that they mention in conversation.
Would Blue Peter be unauthentic if the BBC sold it to another TV channel?
A theory I have is that some TV programmes are enjoyed for what they are with the producer being almost immaterial whereas other programmes are so strongly associated with its producer that if they were sold to another producer then they would lose much of there authenticity and public appeal.
Take into account that TV programmes are technically tradeable commodities like any other branded products are.
