This is like beating a long ago expired horse, but there (again) goes the argument that the internet is a suitable replacement for radio. How many years will it take before these rights issues will be resolved once and for all--either via contract, regulation or statute? It's not like this is a new or recently discovered problem--and in some ways it seems to be getting worse. The CBC practice of stripping all music content from its downloadable archive starkly underlines the problem. The internet is a useful adjunct to radio--it was that way before, it's that way now and will be that more forevermore! :-) Ranting and raving from Halfmoon, NY-- John Figliozzi

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.
