Perhaps a better solution would be to increase the size of the header datestamp:
Last Updated: Wednesday, 11 February, 2004, 09:20 GMT Or, to add the year to the datestamp at the end of the piece: The Money Programme on self-cert mortgages was broadcast on BBC Two on Wednesday 11 February at 1930 GMT. The printable version could benefit from having the datestamp + copyright at the top as well as the bottom. For video media, a logo card at the beginning and embedded metadata would do it. I worked up a little imagemagick script a while back which built logo'd TIFF cards on the fly from Ogg Theora metadata in the videos. Although my script prepended the cards to the front of the videos, a more scalable solution might be to just prebuild cards by crawling the media files, then showing them in players before handing off to the video, the way an ad + the red globe BBC News logo are shown before the clip itself today.
