Which also mentions me of Radio 1's short-lived ondemand streaming of existing programmes - many years before the current Listen Again service launched. 30+ radio 1 programmes, on demand. I remember trying it at university, and failing to get it to work! It didn't last very long unfortunately - got pulled because of that age old problem - rights! In that case IIRC, music rights. Took then a few years to sort that one out. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group. To unsubscribe, please visit http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/archives/2005/01/mailing_list.html.
