This article explains BBC are playing classic shows like Doctor Who or Dad Army, BBC plan is to offer these classic shows for a price and you can download them. The content is 7000 hours worth of content and would show all classic which were on BBC.Marcus Arthur, UK managing director for the broadcaster’s commercial arm, BBC Worldwide. Arthur said BBC Store would be an “opportunity to create new revenues”, he said it would not make a huge contribution to the £1.2bn Worldwide has promised to return to BBC offers over the next five years.The launch is part of a shift towards making more BBC content available to buy and own in a digital format. It is intended as a long-term replacement for DVD sales, The market for which has halved in the last three year.
1. BBC moving forward to show old content which people would want.
2. global analysis firm IHS, said: “By 2019, download to view will only be worth half the value of the DVD business and, once you add in Blu-ray, about a third of the physical disc business.
3.Programmes will become available to buy in digital format on BBC Store within hours of appearing on television and Cooper said the immediacy was exciting.
In my opinion I believe that BBC showing there classic content is a good idea as it will bring more of a viewership for there older demographic. This is not a new idea but a good financial idea as to they can get downloaded for the right price would have a lot of older people buying it to watch the shows they liked when they were young and this would also be bought by Dcotor who fans which want to know about the Tom Baker times and it would bring the mainstream viewers. This is also good because i researched before that the Doctor who episodes when started got burnt but luckily they have found it. They said they will add more further and further into the future and it will be good because it showing that downloading can be more efficient.
