BBC’s head of iPlayer sees internet-connected TVs as the platform of the future
BBC’s head of iPlayer, Dave Price, has said that he sees internet-connected TVs as the “platform of the future.”
Writing on his blog about the performance of the hugely popular platform, he said: “It’s no big surprise that when at home, audiences like to watch TV on the best screen in the house – the TV. And it’s not just us thinking this.
“YouGov recently published the latest wave of its ‘Smart TV’ study which found that the proportion of people who are looking to buy a smart TV is on the rise.
“Behind live TV viewing, catch-up TV services like iPlayer are the second most popular activity for smart TV owners, used by a majority of people with these new devices.”
