Keeping an eye doesn’t necessarily mean curtailing any creative freedom.

Keeping an eye doesn’t necessarily mean curtailing any creative freedom. It depends who the eye belongs to.

Keeping an eye doesn’t necessarily mean curtailing any creative freedom. It depends who the eye belongs to. We know from his first tenure that RTD is very pro-BF. We also know RTD is talking about a major expansion of the TV Who universe, so it stands to reason Bad Wolf/BBC would want to keep the decks clear for their TV plans and prevent overlap.

“Spin-Off decisions are made based on demand and cost-effectiveness“
Kinda curious how the process works as they don’t have open dialogue with fans on social media on what they would like to see in audios

People on social media aren't indicative of how much demand there would actually be for a product. People on social media keep asking for them to bring the novel adaptations back but BF are clear that they didn't sell enough.

People on social media also don’t buy the product. The amount of people that consistently reply with OTT reactions to every single announcement Big Finish make, particularly when it comes to fan pairings, is crazy. Then months down the line when the product is out and you don’t see any of them review it, give their thoughts, etc. Often it’s the idea of the product rather than the actual item that they like or have interest in.
I expect Big Finish trial what they think will be successful and the renewals come from the sales post-announcement / release. Notably a fair amount of their spin-offs originate in other sets, or the characters make appearances elsewhere around the time of the spin-off release. It buys interest into the spin-off.
