iPad saves broadcast for BBC

On January 19, 2012, in News, by Marlon Sabala

Just got this note from one of our listeners (Richard):

Thought that you’d like to know the BBC 5 Live Sports Extra are currently broadcasting live from Dubai, via an iPad and Skype. Total communications breakdown at the Test Match, but the iPad has saved them. They’re not supposed to advertise products on the Beeb, but it has been mentioned every couple of minutes for the past hour and a half.

Why they still use Flash all over their website is beyond me…
