BBC and YouTube team up
March 5th, 2007
Recently, the BBC entered into an agreement with YouTube to begin streaming high-quality videos on two separate “channels,” with the addition of a news channel later this year.
The BBC Channel will show clips, trailers and features to drive traffic back to the BBC site, and the pages won’t carry ads. BBC Worldwide, meanwhile, will be ad supported (pre-roll ads) and carry clips from Top Gear, The Mighty Boosh and nature programmes by David Attenborough, among other clips from the archive.

D Jewell,
March 29th, 2007 at 1:00 amI can’t seem to find an email address, so I’m attempting a contact on this the recent blogposting. I have a web question somewhat spawned from the ability to place YouTube windows as embedded objects. Do you know of any similar phenomenon in the world of still photography? I’m looking for a cheap way to make a site updateable by the client without them having to go through FTP stuff that confuses them. I thought if I could embed a window that shows photos from, say, a Flikr account, that would be the bees, the tops. Because then the tech-challenged client could simply upload new photos to the easy-as-pie online photo account and vis-a-vis ergo bang, their website content is updated. See? What do you know/think?
