Signed a deal that involves 3 youtube 'channels' of BBC content, one
of which wont be available in the UK due to advertising:

Signs of a progressive attitude towards copyrighted stuff too:

"Mr Highfield said the BBC would not be hunting down all
BBC-copyrighted clips already uploaded by YouTube members - although
it would reserve the right to swap poor quality clips with the real
thing, or to have content removed that infringed other people's
copyright, like sport, or that had been edited or altered in a way
that would damage the BBC's brand.

"We don't want to be overzealous, a lot of the material on YouTube is
good promotional content for us," he said. "

Cheers
