The BBC and Adobe have entered into a strategic relationship where the British Broadcasting Company will use the Adobe Flash Player to power its iPlayer across PC, Mac and Linux platforms.

Erik Huggers, BBC future media and technology group controller said, “It is important to ensure that BBC iPlayer is available on as many platforms as possible. It will offer our audiences increased flexibility as to how and when they consume our content, both live and on-demand.”

Currently, the BBC’s iPlayer enables viewers to download and view around 400 hours of television programs from the last seven days and store for up to 30 days.
