BBC iPlayer App ‘Coming Soon’, Says BBC Employee

In a recent tweet to a fellow colleague, Matt Phillips, Head of Communications for the BBC’s Media & Technology division, has confirmed that iPlayer apps are indeed “coming soon.”

iPlayer is a service for those in the U.K. that allows viewers to watch the network’s TV programmes on-demand through the iPlayer website. A web app for the iPhone and the iPad has been around for some time, however, users are eagerly anticipating a native iOS application.

The iPlayer application is expected to hit the App Store later this week, but we’ll let you know as soon as it’s available.
