Re: [backstage] regional news - footage available online?
Thanks for that Gavin, answers my question pretty succinctly! Is local news archived at all?

Last time I checked (incidentally for exactly the same reason as you) it was some awful wmv or real stream in very low or extremely low quality. Local news doesn't appear on iPlayer AFAIK. No idea about redux. I personally would love to see local news on iPlayer. best Regards Phil Lewis On Fri, 2010-08-20 at 12:29 +, jim tonge wrote: Hi all.

Anyone got any idea how I can get access to this footage either internally or externally? Ta, Jim - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

It's worth stressing that the PVT referred to above covered a new £68m service which goes somewhat over and above the existing output from the regions (though I suspect extended versions of material which is edited down for broadcast would fall under that remit). As the Trust says: Within the bounds of existing service licences, the BBC offers regional news on television, local radio and local websites. Programming from the BBC's television services can be shown on the internet. Hunting through /programmes, it seems as hit and miss as suggested earlier. e.g., Points West: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006pft9 versus Reporting Scotland: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mj3s M. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

Actually it seems as simple as Nations TV bulletins are on iplayer but the (English) Regions aren't. I think we probably need someone who has greater involvement with iplayer to be certain.
