Hey, Bobby G here. I haven’t posted in a little while, because there’s been so much going on. I had my English exam on Friday. I think it went OK. I’m so tired.
In media studies related news, the BBC have written an article on how BT is now charging BT Vision users £3 a month for BBC on-demand content.
A BT spokesman said, “The BBC programmes, including hit shows like The Apprentice, are delivered in top quality over the BT Vision on-demand platform… Customers are, of course, able to watch BBC shows for free on their laptop or PC in lesser quality on the BBC player in the usual way.”
As a side note, apparently the BBC intend to eventually have all their channels streamed live online. Which sounds cool.
I intend to post more media posts over the next few days, but I’m not the most reliable of people. I’m really hoping I can post more stuff, though, because the exam is next week.
exams are so mentally draining, aren’t they? i hope they’d be over as soon as possible for you! i remember my last exams a month or so ago… i just lost steam and didn’t really study for many of my exams. luckily i passed! can’t imagine not being to graduate…
Yeah, exams are totally mentally draining! Ah well, a week and a couple of days and then they’ll be over.
Good on you for passing! I can imagine failing history all too easily… I don’t even want to think about it!
If the English you write here is any indication, you should have done well in your exam! Best of luck with the others. I know how they can take over your life while they’re going on, so it’s splendid of you to take time out to give us an update.
I’d love for the BBC to stream all their channels! I could watch them here, across the pond. w00t! {{{good history exam vibes for B0bbyG}}}
The BBC iPlayer is being picked up by many broadcasters, Bobby. BT are, and always will be, thieves!
@ Muse: Wow, thanks for the compliment, and the luck!
It would be nice to watch BBC channels online from anywhere in the world, wouldn’t it? But I have a feeling it would have to be UK-only service, given that the BBC is funded by British licence fee payers. Maybe they could run commercials like they do on BBC World; that could work.
Thanks for the good history exam vibes!
@ Will: Yeah, and I can’t imagine many people are going to want to pay for a service that’s free everywhere else. BT have some nerve!
