Having a product moved from free to air to Sky doesn't weaken the BBC per se. The BBC could argue they are saving money, now that they don't have to pay Bernie full whack and that puts them in a better position regarding future programming.

That might very well be Murdoch's game plan but as long as the TV licence fee remains, it's not going to happen. As it is Murdoch's had his plans dented, with the revelations regarding the News of the World and the latest revelations can do nothing but more harm.
