Broadband Content Bits: ITV Rights, Virgin Music, Wii iPlayer
—ITV (LSE: ITV) rights: Ofcom is proposing some housekeeping that would mean ITV Network acquiring new media content rights, rather than individual ITV franchises. Full review here.
—Virgin Music: Remember Virgin Media’s unlimited music service with Universal? Vapourware so far. Now unnamed EMI and Sony (NYSE: SNE) Music Entertainment execs express concern to NMA over the detail. Virgin says a pre-Christmas launch is on-track.
—Wii iPlayer: Nintendo has upgraded the console’s internet channel to support Flash 8 - with the side-effect that the BBC’s cut-down, web-based iPlayer has stopped working on the machine. Via Reg.
