BROADCAST EXCLUSIVE -ITN is seeking legal advice over whether to take action against the BBC for using the licence fee to fund a news service on websites outside of BBC News Online, writes Adrian Pennington.
The move follows the corporation's deal with internet portal Yahoo! to provide BBC News content free in exchange for driving traffic back to BBC Online.
ITN new media managing director Garron Baines said: '[This] is damaging our commercial interests and those of other broadcasters. Portals are getting free content courtesy of the licence fee.'
