Simon Cowell wants ITV to nick 'The Voice'.
The 'X Factor' boss is keen for the network to snap up rights to the BBC One show after ITV secured Talpa Media, which makes the talent show, for in excess of £780million but admits it would be "a bit unfair" since the BBC has worked hard to create a good show.
He said: "It's a tricky one but ITV own it now and I'm guessing if you've bought it you'd want to put it out. If it goes out as it is now on ITV then I don't see a problem.
"It would be a bit unfair on the BBC because they have made it a good show."
The music mogul - who has a long-running feud with the BBC - thinks the corporation made a "mistake" by not telling Sir Tom Jones he was going to be replaced by Boy George.
He told the Daily Star on Sunday newspaper: "The mistake they made was they thought if it leaked it was going to be an issue. They thought they had to keep it a secret with the Boy George announcement.
"And they didn't need to. They could have just said to Tom, 'You know what, time's up'. He's come out of it well. He was dignified."
BBC currently have the rights for 'The Voice' for one more series.

Peter Andre is "hell-bent" on winning 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 'Mysterious Girl' hitmaker has reportedly hired the services of a former royal marine to help him keep fit during his time on the show.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Peter is hell-bent on getting everything as perfect as he can. Dance partner Janette Manrara wanted to make sure he had enough stamina to get through the quickstep from start to finish without stopping.
"So Peter went to visit an ex-marine fitness expert. He got down and dirty with press-ups, ladders, pulling a tyre and various other exercises until he collapsed. Peter wants the perfect six pack and the marine is making sure he doesn't take his eye off the ball."
And the 42-year-old star, who topped the scoreboard on the BBC One show last week, insists he knows things could "all change" when he steps out on the dance floor this time around.
He said recently: "This is a new week and I'm under no illusion that it could all change. It's a completely different dance - it's ballroom. So I might not quite be there this week but I'm so happy with where I was. Oh man, I was so focused."

Ferne McCann has been secretly texting Rob Kardashian.
The 'Only Way Is Essex' star is said to have been enjoying a friendship with the 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star after the pair kept in touch following a chance meeting in Las Vegas.
A source said: "Rob likes Ferne because she is more down-to-earth than the girls he is used to in Los Angeles and he finds her easy to talk to."
And when grilled about the friendship, Ferne remained coy. She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "There's been a few messages. I have got plans to go to LA, but only because I've wanted to go for ages."
Meanwhile, the 25-year-old television personality recently insisted she'd never forget her time with ex-boyfriend Charlie Sims.
She said: "My classic personal moment was ripping Charlie's glasses off his face after he told me he had slept with 22 women. Genuinely the ups and downs with Charlie - I'll never forget them.
"The heartbreaks and ups and downs with Charlie. It was so emotionally draining. Plus it was my real relationship playing out on the show... very tough! There was one series where I think I cried in every episode. When I found out Charlie had cheated on me... you can't get a bigger betrayal than that."

Nick Grimshaw hasn't had the "time to shine yet".
The 'X Factor' judge has been criticised as he made his debut on the talent show but 'Xtra Factor' host Melvin Odoom thinks he's going to "blow up" when it comes to the live shows.
Melvin told the Daily Star newspaper: "The world is giving him a hard time but he's doing a great job. When it comes to live shows, he's going to blow up. He's naturally a funny person, he hasn't had time to shine yet.
"For both of us it's the first time doing The X Factor and people don't like change. But I'm doing things to the best of my ability and so is Grimmy."
Meanwhile, show boss Simon Cowell recently spoke out to stick up for the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show host.
He said: "I did say to Nick beforehand: 'If it all comes on top you know what the score is. You will get good weeks and not so good weeks.' I think he is tough and he gets it. I think he's doing good. Is he being sidelined for Louis [Walsh]? No chance, forget it. He is 100% safe.
"When you do the live shows that is when it really counts. He is fun to work with, and loves being on the show. It just takes a little while for people to get used to new people."

A fan once lived in Shane Richie's garden.
The 'EastEnders' actor - who has sons Shane Jr., 26, and Jake, 23, with ex-wife Coleen Nolan, and kids Mackenzie, nine, Lolita, seven, and Romani, four, with wife Christie - had no idea a female had been "hiding in the trees" in the grounds of his home until police were called following a report from a neighbour.
He said: "Once a fan camped out at the bottom of the garden. She was sleeping and hiding in the trees.
"It would appear that when she saw the blue flashing lights, she ran away never to return.
"Empty food cartons, crisp and chocolate wrappers were scattered around a camping ground sheet.
"We only found out when a neighbour saw something and reported it to the police."
Earlier this year, Shane turned 50 but reaching the milestone age didn't bother him.
He told Woman magazine: "It's just a number! I went to my favourite restaurant with all my friends and family.
"We took over the restaurant but the owner, who is a friend, was fine about that.
"Surprise friends from my past turned up, which was so lovely."

Alesha Dixon has told Peter Andre to "up" his game on 'Strictly Come Dancing' if he wants to win.
The former winner of the BBC One series met up with the 'Mysterious Girl' hitmaker and told him he isn't putting in enough practice for the weekly competition if he wants to be king of the ballroom.
During an appearance on 'Alan Carr Chatty Man', Alesha shared: "I saw Peter the other night and I asked him how many hours training he has been doing and he said about 6 hours a day. I said if you want to win you are going to have to up your game."
The 42-year-old hunk - who's married to Emily MacDonagh - danced his way to the top spot last weekend with professional partner Janette Manrara.
They scored 30 points for their Cha Cha to Christina Aguilera's hit 'Ain't No Other Man' but Peter said he's under "no illusion" that it could all change this weekend.
Speaking earlier this week, he said: "This is a new week and I'm under no illusion that it could all change. It's a completely different dance - it's ballroom. So I might not quite be there this week but I'm so happy with where I was. Oh man, I was so focused."
Meanwhile, Alesha - who has 22-month-old daughter Azura with boyfriend Azuka Ononye - also confessed to being hungover during rehearsals for the final of 'Strictly...' in 2007.
The 'Britain's Got Talent' judge revealed: "The final was a nightmare for me actually. Matthew Cutler, who was my dancing partner, and I went out and had a party to celebrate the fact we were in the final, got to dress rehearsal on the Friday. I had five dances to do - we used to do real work in my day. He spun me round and round and round and I ended up throwing up in the lovely seating area."
'Alan Carr Chatty Man'airs tonight on Channel 4 at 10pm.

Doctor Who boss Steven Moffat wants to bring K-9 back to the show.
The showrunner loves the robot dog who accompanied Fourth Doctor Tom Baker on his many adventures and he is desperate to weave him into a story with current TARDIS incumbent Peter Capaldi.
Moffat came very close to putting the metallic mutt in last year's Christmas special but ultimately decided to wait for a better idea for K-9's comeback.
In an interview with TV & Satellite Week magazine, he said: "I love K-9! I nearly put him in 'Last Christmas'. I had a whole scene where the Doctor was pointing out how ludicrous Santa Claus is, having a reindeer with a glowing nose and so on ... and then in comes K-9. Completely daft, but he's brilliant. I'm totally up for K-9 when we have the right idea."
K-9 was last seen in 'Doctor Who' in the 2006 episode 'School Reunion' with the Tenth Doctor - played by David Tennant - and the Fourth Doctor's much loved companion Sarah Jane Smith, played by the late Elizabeth Sladen.
The metallic mutt - who has had several incarnations - was then a regular in spin-off show 'The Sarah Jane Adventures' and previously had his own spin-off series.
Moffat still has time to fulfil his dream of bringing K-9 back because he has no intention of leaving the BBC One series any time soon even though he has been showrunner since 2008 and also works on 'Sherlock'.
He said: "I thought I'd be gone by now, to be honest. I thought I would get tired by it, and of it. But I haven't. If anything, I think I cope with the stress and fatigue better than I used to. So I take it a year at a time. But they might decide that they've had enough of me and kick me out!"

Ferne McCann has reportedly signed up for the next series of 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
According to the Daily Star newspaper, 'The Only Way Is Essex' star is set to go into the house next January, following in the footsteps of fellow 'TOWIE' alumni Amy Childs, Sam Faiers, Mario Falcone and Kirk Norcross.
The 25-year-old beauty broke up with her long-term boyfriend Charlie Sims, 23, earlier this year but the thunderous relationship kept 'TOWIE' fans hooked and her impending 'CBB' appointment has sent tongues wagging as to whether she's preparing to leave the Essex show entirely.
However, a 'TOWIE' spokesman denied the rumours, saying: "Ferne has no current plans to leave the series."
The last series of 'Celebrity Big Brother' has just finished and the winner was ex-'Apprentice' contestant James Hill.
But the season was dominated by Farrah Abraham and Jenna Jameson and their non-stop bitching and rows with the other housemates, including Bobby Davro, Austin Armacost and Natasha Hamilton.
