LONDON, August 28 2005: The BBC’s TV channels could be made available on the internet, one of the corporation’s top executives has said.

A simulcast of BBC One or BBC Two, letting UK viewers see programmes on the web at the same time as they go out on TV, is being planned. Proposals make clips available on mobile phones are also being speeded up, director of TV Jana Bennett said. A player to let viewers watch shows on the internet for a week after they have been broadcast on TV is in development. In an interview with the Guardian newspaper, Jana Bennett said she hoped to simulcast a channel within the next year.
