Re: [Swprograms] BBC WS Streaming Plans during Summer Olympics

["Richard Cuff" <richard@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am seeking clarification to the on-demand matter.  I agree -- shouldn't be
that tough, but it likely requires manual intervention in what is probably
an automated process of capturing audio and posting to the web.

If you have listened on-demand to any CBC content lately, they now edit all
music out of the webcast...even the program themes!  This, too, due to
rights issues.
