Synecdoche at work.
This 'BBC' refers to a part of the BBC. It is not to be confused with 'the BBC' that is asking 'the BBC', and not getting an answer from 'the BBC', about the actions of 'the BBC'.

I'm on tenterhooks ofor the BBC undercover report on malfeasance in the BBC board of governors meetings.

Some WWI war memorials are dated 1914 - 1918. That's the Armistice.
Some WWI war memorials are dated 1914 - 1919. That's the Treaty of Versailles.
