Seems fair enough, these things cost money and the #BBC is in a race to diversify it's income in preparation for the license fee going away. The dynamic description sounds like they want to preserve the casual visitors experience of an open site.

I get ads on my BBC podcasts when I'm abroad. I assume that's all part of it.
