BBC iPlayer have expanded their on-demand content, with the release of the iPlayer Radio App, which has been primarily engineered for iPhone users, with Android versions to come, reports The BBC
"BBC iPlayer Radio is the platform on which we will develop radio stations as fully multimedia brands so that as well as listen, audiences will be able to watch, share and engage with BBC Radio," said Mark Friend, controller of multiplatform and interactive for the BBC's Audio & Music division. The new app will mean users will need to download separate iPlayer apps in order to access either television or radio content, but in doing so, will receive a much more in depth radio experience, if that’s their preference. The app also features an alarm, to turn anyone’s iPhone into a radio alarm clock almost instantaneously. "Our next steps will be to make live radio more interactive, make it easier for people to enjoy the BBC's vast audio archive and strengthen radio's position as the number one place for discovering music in the UK," continued Friend.
Mr Danker said other mobile platforms, such as Windows Phone and Blackberry, were not having apps developed yet. Users on these operating systems can still access iPlayer Radio within the web browser, but there are currently no plans to offer the app to international listeners.
