The next stage of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's downloading and podcasting trial will include experiments with hourly news bulletins, Woman's Hour podcasts and audio highlights from Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ TWO's Newsnight.
Μύ
Twenty-nine more radio programmes and highlights packages will join the trial - which allows listeners to download shows and subscribe to regular podcasts - later this month.
Μύ
They include an hourly news summary from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Service and Jeremy Paxman's first podcasting venture in a weekly, audio-only download featuring the pick of the interviews from Newsnight.
Μύ
The strong news line-up is complemented by a collection of flagship Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 programmes, with podcasts from Woman's Hour, Start the Week, Broadcasting House, Today in Parliament and Front Row amongst others.
Μύ
Woman's Hour - in its 60th year on air - will offer a daily download featuring the top item from the morning's programme.
Μύ
Front Row will podcast a key interview each week, while Broadcasting House and Start The Week will be available to download in their entirety once a week.
Μύ
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 1 and 1Xtra contribute weekly podcasts featuring the pick of interviews, gossip (Chart Chat with JK & Joel), news entertainment (Radio 1 Entertainment News) and unsigned music in the shape of Best of Unsigned (Radio 1) and 100% Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔgrown Mix (1Xtra), while Scott Mills joins station-mate Chris Moyles with a daily, speech-only package.
Μύ
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3 joins the trial with Discovering Music and a weekly speech highlights package.
Μύ
New additions from Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Five Live include highlights of football debate throughout the week from 606 and daily highlights from Simon Mayo in Daily Mayo.
Μύ
From Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Nations and Regions, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Cymru offers the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's first Welsh-language podcast and Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Wales' All Things Considered gives a weekly insight into religion and spirituality.
Μύ
There is also space for one-off, ad hoc programming throughout the trial.
Μύ
Jeff Randall's interview with Rupert Murdoch for Five Live's Weekend Business programme was the first download to be offered in this slot.
Μύ
All of the programmes will be available as downloads and podcasts at bbc.co.uk/radio from February until June.
Μύ
There are plans to bring the total number of programmes in the trial to 50, with more programmes to be added to the trial once confirmed.
Μύ
Simon Nelson, Controller of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio & Music Interactivr, said: "In extending the trial, we're offering some of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio's most distinctive programming and a broad range of shows to cater to most tastes.
Μύ
"The feedback we get from the trial is helping to inform our strategy for 'audio on demand', giving listeners the control they are becoming increasingly used to in the digital world.
Μύ
"Downloading and podcasting are potentially fantastic ways for us to make our on demand programmes as accessible as live radio always has been."
