The world's been waiting three years for 25, the follow-up to Adele's phenomenally successful 21 - and the day is finally here. To mark the release of her album - which will no doubt shoot to the top of the charts and dominate the airwaves for the next several months - she performs a special concert at the BBC, interspersed with excerpts from an interview with Graham Norton, peppered with her trademark wit throughout.

The BBC has launched a “treasure trove” of its content from the last 60 years.

BBC Store is a new digital service that aims to give audiences easy access to their favourite BBC programmes.

The website allows users to download individual episodes, series or bundles of several series of the same show for a one-off payment, which can then be watched through BBC iPlayer in a new My Programmes area.

Frank Skinner will host a weekly talk show exclusive to BBC iPlayer, it has been announced.

Frank Skinner On Demand With… will see the presenter join celebrities to discuss what they’re watching on the BBC’s on demand service.

He will join his guests in a location where they regularly watch iPlayer, from tour buses to make-up chairs.

Victoria Jaye, Head of TV Content at BBC iPlayer, who commissioned the series said: “This show is reinventing ‘word of mouth’ for the on-demand audience”.

Netflix could be expanding into current affairs, the company’s Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos has said.

Until now, the on-demand service has focused mainly on film and television content with a long shelf life.

However, speaking in Netflix’s Q3 2015 earnings interview, Sarandos said the company could be following its competitor HBO into producing more timely content.

In 2013, HBO teamed up with co-founder and CEO of Vice Shane Smith to produce documentary series Vice for the US cable network. The show’s fourth season is due to air next year.

ITV will merge their website, TV outlets and on-demand service under the ITV Hub.

The service will give viewers the ability to watch and catch up on shows in one place.  

This will also be the first time that episodes of Family Guy and American Dad will be available on-demand without subscription.

Figures from ITV reveal that 30% of their online usage is from live streaming, which will be the main service of the Hub.

Channel 4 will launch its new digital hub on Monday, bringing together its linear and online content.

All 4, as the hub is known, will replace 4OD and will be divided into three sections: On Demand, Now and On Soon.

On Demand will offer users the ability to catch up on recent programmes, and will also host Channel 4 box sets.
