Description
The conclusions of a review of the BBC’s on-demand services, including the BBC iPlayer, simulcast TV over the internet, and non-DRM audio downloads over the internet (podcasts). The review, conducted two years after the launch of on-demand services, found that the iPlayer has performed in line with its usage expectations, has effectively promoted ‘niche’ or less well-known programmes, appeals well to its target younger audiences, and represents good value for money. The review also says future versions of the iPlayer should ensure audiences continue to be able to find a wide variety of content, and agreed with the BBC Executive that more could be done to promote the parental controls on the iPlayer.
