Hi I’m the senior technology architect for BBC Sport Online. Regular readers of this blog will know that Connected Studio has been a hot topic over the past year with most areas of BBC Online having a turn.

Pilot phase means these projects have been prototyped for testing. This means, with the exception of Virtual Crowd at the Champions...

Last year I hosted an internal BBC staff event for the BBC’s Future Media division.
There was a great atmosphere in the studio theatre and I hope everyone felt it was a valuable and relaxed day. Obviously there’s been a regime change since then, but if I’m reading the mood music correctly the BBC wants more conversation, more sharing and more candour! So....
I’m pleased to say that on the 24 May I will be hosting the fourth BBC Online Briefing at the Radio Theatre in Broadcasting House in London.
