Hi Phil, Jim et al You be already aware of this but the BBC proposed a local video service last year. The proposal was rejected by the Trust following public consultation. One of the key concerns was about the adverse impact on the market¹. You can read a full explanation from the Trust here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/our_work/pvt/local_video_proposal.shtml So while there would be (minor) technical issues involved in delivering local video on bbc.co.uk, they haven¹t been explored because there isn¹t a remit to provide the service.
