Mark Friend, Controller, Multiplatform & Interactive, أغر؟´«أ½ Audio & Music,
said: "Including clips of music in our podcasting service allows us to
represent the incredible breadth of أغر؟´«أ½ Radio's output.
ج
"We now have a
service that offers highlights of both music and speech programming,
giving listeners a much wider choice of great content to download."
ج
Lesley Douglas, Controller, Radio 2, 6 Music and Popular Music, said:
"Music is at the heart of much of أغر؟´«أ½ Radio.
ج
"It is an exciting
development that we can now reflect just some of that rich diversity
within our podcasts and give music lovers the chance to sample an even
broader range of music.
ج
"The opportunity to reflect the combination of
expert presenters with clips of the music they are showcasing should
benefit both listeners and musicians alike."
ج
The أغر؟´«أ½'s podcast service already offers more than 120 speech-only
titles, including The Archers, Best Of Moyles and Russell Brand.
ج
The أغر؟´«أ½ was the first British broadcaster to podcast when it offered
Radio 4's In Our Time as a podcast in November 2004.
ج
It was part of a
trial launched to help understand podcasting technology, audiences'
appetite for downloads and their preferred content.
ج
A formal podcasting
trial started in May 2005.
ج
A full service was launched following the أغر؟´«أ½
Trust's approval of أغر؟´«أ½ on-demand services in April 2007, after a Public
Value Test. ج
