Post by Administrator on Jun 4^th, 2026, 11:07am

According to "BroadbandTV News", here, "BBC News and Sport apps embrace short-form video",

"The BBC is expanding its use of short-form video with new features across its News and Sport apps, reflecting changing audience habits and the growing popularity of mobile-first content.

In a blog post, BBC Chief Product Officer Will Farrell-Green said the corporation was introducing swipeable vertical video experiences and a dedicated Shorts section within the BBC Sport app, making it easier for audiences to discover and consume content on smartphones."
