Tongue Tied Media is proud to be part of a new BBC “Online First”

This week the BBC launches ‘online first’ listening for selected speech-based programming from across BBC Radio, which is now being made available, online, up to seven days before broadcast.

This week, programmes from BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 5 live and BBC Radio 6 Music are appearing first on the station websites and in the BBC iPlayer radio app before they go out on air.

The innovation, which was approved by the BBC Trust earlier this year, is part of the BBC’s move to give audiences more flexibility in how they discover and listen to programmes. For selected series, listeners will be able to hear to a whole weeks’ worth in one go without waiting for all of them to air on the radio. Programmes can also be downloaded for 30 days to listen to offline in the BBC iPlayer radio app.

Tongue Tied Media’s Raising the Bar is a new three-part series which starts on air on Sunday 18 October in which criminal Barrister Rob Rinder demystifies the legal world. With high-profile guests from across the legal profession, he explains what a Barrister really does and how they can morally defend the indefensible in the courtroom. Along with his studio guests, he aims to show how the justice system in England and Wales works compared to what we think we know from watching television drama series. Each episode will be available online first on Mondays from 12 October.
