Yes they might be - but they are not then classified as broadcasts and cannot be recorded/added to stock under the ERA licence. Watch again or i-player are for individual use, some do not allow recording, and all only make available programmes for a limited period - - hence the requests.

Subject: TV programme requests
Please, could someone satisfy my curiosity?
We seem to get a lot of these requests on the list; I was surprised at
first but am getting used to it.
However, I can't help wondering, are they not often available on the web
these days, e.g. BBC iPlayer?
(When we get requests of this sort at work, it's usually because someone
forgot to set their video recorder, or it failed in some way.)
