BBC to launch iPlayer for children
The BBC is to launch a children’s iPlayer app which will be available for kids on Apple and Android devices.
The new service, with the working title "iPlay," will be an on-demand partner to CBBC and CBeebies.
There were over 500 million downloads of children’s content on iPlayer from January to June 2015, the BBC revealed, while 75% of children have access to a tablet.
The new app will give children a personalised menu of their favourite programmes including Blue Peter and Bing.
