We reveal what’s new on Netflix,BBC iPlayer,
Amazon PrimeVideo and otherstreamingservices
At last there’s some goodnews for BBC lovers: broadcast watchdog
Ofcom has provisionally approved the corporation’s plans to extend its
default iPlayer catch-up limit from 30 days to a year.
In a statement summing up the results of its competition assessment,
Ofcom said: “With the UK broadcasting sector evolving, and audiences’
expectations changing, the BBC needs to keep pace.”
The verdict wasn’t all positive, though. A one-year catch-up limit would be
bad news for rival streaming services from other public broadcasters, such as
Channel 4’s All 4 and ITV Hub, the regulator
said. Further consultations are to take place,
while a final decision is due in August. Follow
the progress atbit.ly/ofcom479.
A BBC spokesman insisted the changes were
necessary. “Having programmes on iPlayer for
30 days no longer makes sense in a world
where global streaming services can offer
unlimited boxsets for as long as they want.”Ofcom:iPlayer maykeepshows for a year
