The BBC has some big plans for getting into the family entertainment streaming industry. The British broadcaster and media giant will launch a new streaming video-on-demand service for kids and young teens tentatively dubbed iPlay.
BBC’s iPlay will be a family-friendly version of the broadcaster’s current iPlayer streaming service. The iPlay platform will host content from BBC’s large library of programming, as well as its related channels like CBeebies and Cbbc. Alice Webb, Director of BBC Children, told StreamDaily iPlay will also support learning through content like podcasts and blogs.
Later on, the service will likely work with outside companies to develop even more content like interactive games and feature-length films. Webb said the BBC also has plans to feature live events on iPlay. The broadcaster will even add new teen content to the streaming service, aimed at helping 12- to 15-year-olds understand topics like news and...
