Your assuming that the archival format would be the same or that there's not anything else specific for their needs. Everybody thinks their snowflake is special, and definitely more special than anyone else's snowflake.

You're assuming that people can't get along. Is there some reason the BBC and archive.org can't work together to satisfy both of their wants and needs?

You sound like you've never worked with multiple vendors essentially needing the same thing but want different things.

No need to draw on past experience. I'm watching it unfold right here. Quite hilarious.
