I don't see that they're from the same source. The article says that 
the program will air, but doesn't say that it's covering the same 
material.
I think the reporter sat down and talked with JKR and got his 
material from her. And if he didn't then that program is NOT where he 
got all his material from.
First, he starts off with the ending of the series, something that is 
not discussed in the BBC program until the very end.
Second he says she might write an eighth book for charity (An 
encyclopedia of Hogwarts) I hope so!!!! I'd LOVE to read it!!! And 
that *isn't even in* the BBC program.

So, I'm not ruling out that Rowling hinted something to him. Not 
until the 21st anyway.
