In this case, instead of waiting to watch the program, you have the ability to rewind the particular TV channel for up to two hours, so you can watch it within that timeframe. Apart from that, some shows and programs may be unavailable to view on-demand or live.
A majority of the content on BBC iPlayer is available for viewing for up to 30 days after it is first broadcasted. But this duration increases to up to 60 days if that program is repeated. Sometimes, there will be a bigger extension on the availability of the program, allowing you to view it for more than the usual duration. Many current affairs programs like Panorama, HARDtalk, and Click, can be watched for days 1 year after it is first broadcasted.
In addition, programs from BBC Three also have an availability of days after they are initially aired. Programs such as news bulletins, Crimewatch Roadwatch, and some sports programs, are only available to be viewed for 24 hours after they are first broadcasted. There are several reasons why some programs have a longer availability than the rest. This may be due to processing time, legal reasons, editorial reasons, and obtaining rights to air the particular show on BBC iPlayer.
Depending on the content and whether the show is live broadcasted or not, the availability is set. Sometimes, BBC iPlayer would have obtained rights for airing the program for only a set period of time like 30 days after it is initially broadcasted. When it comes to the time at which programs are available on BBC iPlayer, the duration depends on whether the program is live broadcasted, or pre-recorded. In the case of pre-recorded programs such as soaps, dramas, and documentaries, these shows are available immediately after their broadcast comes to end.
Rarely, it may take more time for the service to process the program and get it on to the BBC iPlayer platform. If the program was live broadcasted, or close to being live broadcasted, BBC iPlayer takes a little more time to process the programs. This is because these programs need to be converted into a suitable format in order to be uploaded and publicly distributed on BBC iPlayer.
We aim to make programmes available for as long as possible. And while much of our content is available for 30 days after broadcast, many more programmes are becoming available for longer days or more.
It may take a while to make a programme available on demand after broadcast if the programme was live or recorded close to live. Rather than wait, note that you can rewind the live TV channel by up to 2 hours.
Some films may not be available either to watch live or on demand. Unfortunately not. But please be assured that we always try to make programmes available as long as our rights allow. You can, however, check to see if a programme is going to be repeated in the near future by visiting the programme website for a particular programme.
