Regions output online is somewhat hit and miss. For example an album launch I was involved with was covered on BBC London evening news - a 3/4 minute VT segment which I finally managed to beg a copy of on DVD and it was completely different from the accompanying video which ended up in a Flash player accompanying the Online articles about the album launch. (Interestingly the audio was dual mono - ambient sound on L channel and overdubbed narrator on R channel? Not sure if that was a snafu by the offline editor, but it was a very deliberate thing to do - be interested to know if that's how News archives ENG material for the double whammy of preserving a clean ambient track for B Roll or just so they can readjust the narration...)
However I've seen local articles reproduced in full on the site - perhaps ours was different because there was so much footage taken live at the launch they had enough to do several videos, but I don't often see entire VTs transcoded to the web for inline players. Shame, because I quite like watching the Regions stuff (still tune in to BBC1 South sometimes for the regional news from where I used to live for a long time). I bet it'd be a workflow nightmare trying to get it all ingested properly though. Shame the BBC London news isn't encoded after the main national news broadcasts any more though, it was nice being able to watch after the main broadcast ended on the iPlayer. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Anthony McKale > Sent: 23 August 2010 10:27 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [backstage] regional news - footage available online? > > Locla radio should be on iplayer > > ->http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio > > Enjoy the link while you can > > Ant > > > On 22/08/2010 12:10, "Phil Lewis" <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi Jim, > > > > I believe you can often find the local news for up to one > day after on > > the local BBC site for that region.
