The British Broadcasting Corp. will roll out a revamped version of its iPlayer streaming platform next year, Variety reported.
Once launched, iPlayer will bring together livestreaming and catch-up services, as well as box-sets and podcasting. The BBC's overhauled streaming service will also lengthen its contents' availability to 12 months, compared to the current 30-day window, following Ofcom's recent approval on the extended catch-up window.
The BBC executives are expected to announce the plan at an Oct. 7 event, wherein BBC Director of Content Charlotte Moore is expected to explain how the upcoming version of the iPlayer would have "a dynamic curated offering."
BBC iPlayer is the biggest video-on-demand platform in the U.K., reaching 13.4 million homes, according to data released by Ofcom in May.
