BBC calls for your views on iPlayer future

The BBC says it wants to transform iPlayer “from primarily a catch-up and linear TV service into a destination for our audiences, where programmes will be available for longer, both for individual programmes and box sets”.

It says it must give all licence-payers value – while also challenging Netflix and Amazon – and asks for views on making shows available for 12 months, giving complete series box sets, and offering more archive content, along with bought-in material.

It also asks viewers on “steps to promote positive impacts” where readers can call for a licence to be available to them abroad to get programming.
