[Swprograms] BBC WS Streaming Plans during Summer Olympics



I've exchange correspondence with a senior World Service manager regarding World Service webcasting plans during the Olympics.
 
Good news is that there will be no blanket embargo of webcasting during the Olympics, as was the case last time.  Most programming will be available live and on-demand, as usual.
 
However, the bad news is that the major news programs -- Newshour, The World Today, World Update, Europe Today -- will not be available via webcast, since it is possible these programs will incorporate live event commentary -- which is the hangup when it comes to rights issues -- during the broadcast.
 
A special version of Sports Roundup will be webcast that will not include live event commentary, but will have results.
