(Telecompaper) The BBC Trust has approved BBC proposals to BBC radio content for download to bring it into line with TV catch-up programmes on iPlayer. Currently, for BBC radio catch-up programmes other than podcasts, the audience can only listen to such content on iPlayer as audio streams for up to seven days after the original broadcast. The proposal gives listeners seven days to download catch-up content, 30 days to store it before opening and, once opened, seven days to listen. The BBC expects the extended downloads offer to be available in 2014.
