I don't see why some shows shouldn't be allowed to run at a loss if the quality is so enough
especially when there's cheap crap like Gogglebox there to fund it

TV revolves around lowest common denominator pap, Strictly America's Next Top Chef on Ice, Channel 4 is no exception nowadays
surprised the first season even got made in the first place

There's also longevity to consider.
I can't imagine repeats of things like Strictly get many viewers, in the same way X-Factor contestant's careers soon crash-and-burn after the series has finished. They probably also don't export very well.
Cult TV (which I assume Utopia was going for) will continue to find audiences on DVD or streaming.

Reckon a lot of programming nowadays is made for non-broadcast viewing, the one time it's shown on TV serves as an advert for buying it later
Sales then continue through word of mouth and reviews
