BBC iPlayer launches July 27

Good news for those in the UK waiting anxiously for the launch of the new BBC iPlayer. It’s set to launch on July 27th. Director General Mark Thompson said: “This July we are going to launch the iPlayer and in our view, the iPlayer is at least as big a redefinition of what TV can be, what radio can be, what broadcasting can be, as what colour television was 40 years ago.” There is a good promotional video available online which previews the features of the player.
