If you looks for artists whose music/content might appear on BBC TV you'll see they have a lot of linked data. Try Elton John or Bono.

Here's U2: http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/a3cb23fc-acd3-4ce0-8f36-1e5aa6a18432

You can see how they relate stories about Bono, and various music clips. It#s safe to assume that's all related via linked data. Sadly you cant see most of this via the Things search, but I assume that's what's going on here.

Not sure if singers are a good example:

On the structured data front – I think it's more to do with building ontologies around their content, so that e.g. they can relate all sorts of things to programs, series, news items etc. Check out musicians and they can tell you what they sang and which groups they belong to etc,  It doesn't sound like much, but when you consider that these relationships are implied rather than applied you can see some of the power here.

As an aside, looks like BBC are following The Guardian and moving from bbc.co.uk over to bbc.com – I'm getting redirects left right and centre at the moment.
