The BBC will launch the second phase of its iMP (interactive Media Player) program (er… programme) in September. This will allow test viewers to legally download BBC television and radio programming to their computers for seven days after original broadcast.
“iMP could just be the iTunes for the broadcast industry, enabling our audience to access our TV and radio programmes on their terms – anytime, any place, any how,” said Ashley Highfield, BBC director of new media and technology.
Wahoo! This is great news for fans for Brit shows like Dr Who, Ab Fab, Book at Bedtime and Eastenders.
