BBC Online Video Service Launches

July 27th 2007 | Multimedia

The BBC’s flagship online TV service is being launched, offering viewers the chance to download their favourite programmes from the last seven days. For director general Mark Thompson, the launch of iPlayer is as big a milestone as the arrival of colour TV.

The iPlayer allows viewers to download a selection of programmes from the last seven days and watch them for up to 30 days afterwards. In the UK, Channel 4 offers a similar service, called 4OD, for programmes across its portfolio of channels.
