Well the switched has happened – if you use the BBC Listen Again Radio Player today – you’ll find it has become iPlayer radio – although it’s pretty much just cosmetic.
The iPlayer Radio looks a LOT better than the BBC iPlayer itself. They have a similar colour scheme but the iPlayer Radio just seems to feel better.
I’m sure that’s all going to change when the iPlayer Radio is incorporated into the iPlayer full – but then the iPlayer proper may change when it launches officially.
The current iPlayer is a beta release at the moment. It launches properly, complete with streaming on December 25th. Then full integration of the radio player launches later in 2008.
