BBC Introduces More Content Online, Extends Partnership With Youtube

Our Comments

Unlike BBC's own iPlayer, Youtube will allow users to explore fully the "long tail" of BBC's extensive back catalogue. iPlayer only serves as a catch-up service for now, rather than a fully fledged archiving system. Interesting to see as well that BBC Worldwide is playing a more prominent role. BBC is currently testing waters but the latest deal with Youtube means that doors are opened for other such deals... maybe with Hulu?
