What information is there about a series catch-up trial for radio programmes on BBC iPlayer?

As part of a six-month trial, a limited number of radio series are being made available with series catch-up. Series catch-up extends the catch-up availability window for individual episodes beyond the usual seven days after their transmission, allowing you the chance to listen to an entire series until a week after the final episode is broadcast.

Series catch-up is already an option for some TV series in BBC iPlayer, but we need to run a trial for radio before deciding whether to introduce it as a new feature for radio series.

The series catch-up trial will include series from across a range of the BBC's national radio stations and a maximum of ten series will be available at any one time.

To listen to series episodes available in the catch-up trial, all you need is a recent version of Flash player.

Audience research

As part of the trial we are looking for people to take part in audience research about series catch-up for radio programmes.

You can take part by completing an externally hosted survey managed by an independent research agency. This research is for BBC use only. If you choose to provide contact details these will be passed to an independent market research agency for the use in BBC research only. Your personal information will be treated in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
