“This, quite clearly, is not a competitor to BBC iPlayer. It
surfaces a lot of BBC content that is already available, but you
won’t see Doctor Who, or Dragons’ Den on there anytime soon. What
you will see is an increasing list of content, in both audio and
video formats, that we can share with you in an experimental way,
allowing us to explore and test new ways of viewing and listening
to some of our TV and radio shows. Some of the blog posts already
online have mentioned that this involves all BBC content – that’s
incorrect – it’s a limited subset designed for us to explore and
evaluate how new platforms might need new distribution
systems.”
