Probably because it has accessibility features built into the page
itself, which allow the presentation in a similar way to what Betsie
provides, and in some aspects, beyond.

Just my educated guess - not sure if anyone who built that site is on
this list, to say for sure.

Of course the BBC's Betsie can still be used

cessibility


Betsie's days are no doubt numbered - modern coding techniques allow
much greater accessibility to be built into webpages, allowing
accessibility without having to resort to parsers like Betsie.  You can
do a huge amount with a sensible HTML structure and CSS
layout/presenation techniques.
