主播大秀

Hi there everyone, two weeks have passed since my last round-up so here is a quick update on the major stories about 主播大秀 Online.

The news that 40 hours of 主播大秀 content is to be made available on 主播大秀 iPlayer before TV broadcast was widely reported this week.

Although the 主播大秀 has been experimenting with online only content for a while now, and being the most obvious examples, the information gleaned from the of a 主播大秀 Trust meeting in December was leapt upon by some of the press.听

linked the story to the apparent success of the Netflix exclusive House of Cards.

General Manager of 主播大秀 On Demand commented to 主播大秀 in house magazine that:

鈥�We are measuring ourselves against the wrong competitors, because actually the companies that are most likely to be disruptive in what we do are Google through YouTube, Amazon through LoveFilm and Netflix.鈥�

speculated whether the 鈥�Corporation鈥檚 new experiment is designed to see whether iPlayer鈥檚 contribution to the 主播大秀鈥檚 overall viewing figures can be increased with online-only premieres鈥� while quietly approved stating that 鈥�The 主播大秀, despite its sometimes stuffy image, is revealing that it's just as eager to break with tradition.鈥�

The news that the 主播大秀 is to close the was met with outrage by its small but loyal fan base. In a Archers interactive editor explained that, along with the general 主播大秀 move away from message boards in favour of other social media platforms (as explained by 听in 2011):

鈥�there are around 10,000 regular visitors to the message board, the number of people who contribute actively has dropped below a thousand [鈥�] we hope that you continue to contribute to Archers discussions elsewhere online.鈥� However, comments on the blog post were predictably unfavourable:

Glorybal-MUSTARDLAND FOREVER :

鈥�The only part of the website I have visited regularly is the messageboard. I think I visited the Blog once but have never bothered with any of the other parts as all I needed could be found on the MB. I do not Tweet and will not join Facebook which exist only to make a profit. I am disappointed in the behaviour of the 主播大秀.鈥�

Nigel will be on听 on Radio 4 today at 4.30pm discussing the closure with listeners.

favourably reported on the reintroduction of the Favourites feature on the iPlayer Android App:

鈥�All iPlayer really needs now is 鈥榓ccounts鈥� to let users sync all their favourites across platforms, though don鈥檛 hold your breath for that. Actually, another big feature the Android app could do with is downloads, which you may remember was introduced for the iOS incarnation back in September.鈥�

The have published another set of updates on cutting edge work from :

鈥淭ristan and have been watching with fascination our being picked up by the radio drama community, starting with someone creating a curated collection of the radio drama and plays in there.鈥�

As well as continuing research on the Internet Of Things

鈥�Vicky and Jasmine are continuing to explore and prototype ideas framed on our research questions: - How can we give non-digital objects behaviours to make stories more captivating and absorbing? - How can we make media management more physical? - How can we bring characteristics of theatre into the home? - How can we get our audience to shape and build their own experience?鈥�

Finally this week I was fortunate enough to drop by the News to hear the pitches given to the News product team at the end of the two day build sessions.

Head of News product was on the judging panel to decide which ideas will be taken through to the pilot stage and it was fascinating to hear about the features we might be seeing on the News site in the future.
