The BBC is planning to launch a BBC One +1 channel, its director general Tony Hall has announced. Speaking at his first major speech since joining in April, Lord Hall said audiences expected a timeshift service that would give people "more of what they've already paid for". BBC One "has to be the nation's favourite channel, and also its bravest," he added. He also announced a revamped iPlayer, offering a 30-day catch-up period.
The service will also allow users to personalise their viewing experience, as well as watch programmes before they are broadcast on TV. In addition, a BBC Store will be launched, offering people in the UK the chance to buy BBC shows to watch and keep. Lord Hall said he wanted BBC Music to be a well-recognised brand like BBC News and BBC Sport, and that he wanted to offer more moments like this year's Glastonbury festival coverage, where six stages were streamed live to TV, radio, computers, consoles, tablets and phones.
