BBC Planning New iPlayer for iPad


The BBC’s new iPlayer for iPad app

The new iPlayer app will support live TV and radio, access to the complete catch-up program catalog, series stacking, personalized favorites, and an improved user interface.

“Having stuck our toe in the water last year with the iPad (initially, we quickly repurposed our big screen version), this new native app is a significant improvement on the existing experience,” said BBC general manager of future media and technology Daniel Danker.

iPlayer won’t, however, be supported outside of the U.K. — at least for now. The BBC is working on bringing an iPlayer subscription service to the U.S., but hasn’t announced an official launch date yet.
