BNN is a public service broadcasting company, and so doesn't always have to put things on TV for entertainment.
The BBC puts a lot of stuff that makes no money, because they are a public service company. They put a lot of educational programs on and things, because it is in the interest of the public.
Perfect example: If it wasn't for the BBC, the paralympics wouldn't have been broadcast on TV since the viewing figures would have made it a financial loss for commercial TV channels.
