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. After this, you can download content to watch later. Bear in mind that the download time will depend on how long the programme is and whether it is in SD or HD.
