Why wont the BBC put old programs on Iplayer?
Discussion
Wasn't this what the recently-abandoned "digital initiative" was going to do, stick loads of old archive stuff on so it could be watched? I don't remember the ins and outs of why it was abandoned because the newspaper was more interested in how much had been spent on it.
Perhaps they get more income from selling all this stuff on DVD than C4 do for their old stuff, or perhaps there are contractual things that mean it's more cost-effective that way?

It's all b

The BBC recently shut down a 3rd party free app which would search & schedule a download of any podcast or live programme on BBC radio.
Then, when questioned as to why they ordered the service to be shut down when they don't offer the same service themselves, a dickless mouthpiece stated that it was technically mountainous & anyway, they hoped to offer a full catalogue in 2014.
About a week later, I noticed that after programmes on R4, the continuity announcer invited us to download the programme just played (and others) from a paysite.
Erm, who'd of thought it?
Meanwhile, they continue to spunk the licence fee away of reality horse-st & staff payoffs.
It won't be long before they serve no useful purpose as taxpayer funded.

And then there's MOTD - can't ever be put on iPlayer due to contractual reasons with the Premier League 
When will the fat cats, and their lawyers, understand that we won't be paying for football highlights!? I don't watch MOTD religiously, but if there's a good game or a game with something different in it I might decide to watch later. But I can't (legally).

Don't all these programmes get sold to Dave, Gold etc instead.
I've paid the bloody licence fee, it should be online as well! Next you'll be telling me that because you have paid for a road tax disc you want all the potholes filled in.
Because the BBC Trust told them not to. Iplayer was originally going to be 31 days worth of catch-up, but other stakeholders objected to this.

I appeared on well known and to the best of my knowledge still running BBC show in 1979. I know the date of broadcast but can’t find anything on the BBC Archives other than a very brief description. No video sadly.
Is it possible to buy a personal copy from the BBC Archives or is there any way to get it?
