Soaps are broadcasted everywhere around the world and are very popular. Practically everywhere there is a national TV network you will find a soap, even in Egypt. To see that viewers love Soap Operas, it only takes a weekly viewing as the figures are always huge. It is important that soaps are popular, as if they produce a programme, a large audience will help in the long run when they are good enough for advertising companies as they may want to advertise them.
As the BBC are a public service channel, this means that they will get money from the government via the Television Licence system as they are not commerical. But they still have to attract large audiences to justify the licence fee we pay.
