Last week the BBC announced that they would broadcast all their channels live online. They have been doing this as a test with some of their minor channels and now they are rolling out to BBC One and BBC Two. This is a really smart move and clearly they are not afraid of online like US broadcasters seem to be. Just the other day the major networks were scoffing at Hulu as "just reruns" See NewTeeVee interview with Hulu CEO Jason Kilar below:
Apparently the networks think that if you are not watching their programming when they want you to watch it you are of little value. I really think Hulu is and now the BBC are proving them wrong and what they need to realize that if they let people access to their content any/all the time they will have much more success and "long tail" programs will make them a lot of money.
