Has anyone else noticed the increasing but sometimes subtle way the
BBC is promoting itself?
We have all aware I am sure - and indeed I think I have seen comment
before about it on here - that the BBC is pushing more and more
internal adverts for its programmes in between others, for instance
between a weather forecast and a new bulletin both on radio and TV?
Now I notice a subtle change.
Such adverts often were for iPlayer or BBC Sounds, and sometimes for
the station name and the online, i.e. "...on BBC1 and iPlayer." Now
suddenly but notably it has becomes ".... on iPlayer and BBC1" and
similarly on the radio.

I'm gald you said 'sometimes subtle', most of the time on R4 it is
totally blatant. I get so frustrated by it that I switch off and then
miss a programme I wanted to hear.

delivery. It's hardly surprising all of them are gently pushing their marketing that way.
Everything in our house that is 'radio' now comes via the internet. Over
50% of everything that is 'TV' takes the same route now.

It cannot be because of people watching on line overseas as many home
grown programmes are not available outside the UK due to licencing, so is this the BBC getting us ready for the (rapidly approaching?) point where
they announce that over-air broadcasting will cease and all TV will be delivered by broadband? Sky have already indicated their similar target so
is this the BBC getting on the same bandwagon or .....what?
It has already been mentioned. But, and its a big but, what happens if the Internet is compromised by some other nation or a natural disaster? How will government etc, talk to the masses then.

I have always wondered if Putin dropped a nasty on Central London, would
we only know that there was an 'incident' there and traffic was
requested to avoid the area?
If I were a cynic of course I'd say that they can tell who you are where
you are and when you watch what with online, but not with off air
They could not only see what we're watching, but if they wanted to
they could control access to it as well, so it could be seen as paving
the way for allowing us to pay for what we want to see, either by a >subscription or payments for individual programmes. As long as they do
this *instead* of the licence I'm all for it, as they'd soon find out
what their programmes are really worth and would be incentivised to
produce what the viewers want.

My concern is that I will no longer be able to record programmes
at will, with indefinite retention to view, skip etc as the fancy
takes me. Being locked into a system with unavoidable adverts
doesn't appeal to me, which is probably why the broadcasters
would prefer it. :-(

I've notice it but it's no where near as intrusive as the commercial channels. The self promoting on channels 20 and 66 are hundreds of
times more annoying.
