Thread Name: Chieftains on BBC4
Subject: RE: Chieftains on BBC4
Enjoyed playing catch-up tv via bbc's IPLAYER. TV to watch when I'M READY for it, cos I just don't watch TV, too busy living! Watched Legends(Chieftans), Folk Hibernia, Transatlantic Sessions, St Pats Day Special (Blas Ceoil) at various times when I felt in the mood/ needed some relaxation, or had a small slot in my schedule. On Good Friday there is a BBC4 program on Sacred Music History and a program about "White Gospel" So I can watch this anytime up to 7 days after broadcast, but if I can download it, I can view for up to 30 days. Channel4 & ITV have something similar (but not a great deal of musical material of interest to us). Whereas I would have not seen the programs, I now have the opportunity to do so via internet, & thus be better informed and able to take part in discussion on them in, for example, our forum.
Am I correct in presuming that these are available world wide?
And also, are there similar services available form other national broadcasters?(I bet there could be some great Irish music programs!)
