And sadly, this ability is probably going to get the BBC canned once the Tories come into power. News International has "persuaded" the Tories that this sort of experience is damaging to "traditional" media interests.
</politics> On topic, the BBC is the best example of this sort of joined up thinking across media. Their news portal (it's not really a site is it) works just as well alongside the iPlayer, and the "red button" support on Digital TV links into the same well of content. They excel at presenting the information they have in every format available. Gk.

Over the past few years the BBC have taken lots of steps to provide a joined up experience between TV, Radio, PC/standard web, and mobile - on a whole host of different levels. The iPlayer (on-demand TV) on both PC and on mobile is a great example of this - showing content from the TV and radio, promoted on both platforms, distinct (but still BBC-y) website and associated TV app, mobile-targetted app that takes into account screen resolution & connection speed etc.. Indeed, if you had told me 5 years ago that I would actually watch a TV programme on my phone, I would have laughed you out of town. But now I do - if it happens to suit (even in my own house). They do still have some work to do (their website detects you're on a phone, but obviously not very reliably: I get a cut-down version of the site which I neither want nor need), and they clearly have resources that most people don't, but I think they're a great example.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
