BBC, Channel 4 and iTV - a good cartel is formed !

Yes, for once the agreement of the major players to all do something in concert is a Good Thing. The BBC, iTV and Channel 4 are going to pool their archives, to launch a single on-demand service. Its here on the BBC

The three broadcasters currently offer their own separate on-demand services.

The BBC's iPlayer and ITV's catch-up service will continue to exist along the new online "aggregator", which will provide a complement to the established providers.

However, Channel 4's 4oD will no longer be a standalone service once it is incorporated within the project.

Programming from all three broadcasters will be available for free download, streaming, rental and purchase via the internet, with expansion on to other platforms planned.

Now we just have to work out the Rights and Rights of it..................
