BBC To Put Huge Archive Online

Wow. The Independent ( http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/media/story.jsp?story=436915 ) is one of the many places reporting that the BBC is planning to put a giant television and radio archive online. This project will be called the BBC Creative Archive. According to the BBC's statement about it ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/3177479.stm ), "The service, the BBC Creative Archive, would be free and available to everyone, as long as they were not intending to use the material for commercial purposes." There is no clear date on when this archive will be available.

There's some good Weblog commentary on this news at http://www.hangingday.co.uk/archives/000603.shtml and http://www.oblomovka.com/entries/2003/08/24#1061749500.
