BBC4 BBC Proms

Tosh+McCaber — Sun, 01 Sep 2024 19:22:12 GMT

I am looking for Friday 30 August Proms- Beethhoven's 9th Symphony- on Catch up, but it's not listed. Why is this, and how do I get it?

@Tosh+McCaber Are you able to find it on iPlayer?

Thanks for the reply. Yes -it's on iPlayer, but not on Catchup on Sky. I want to download it, in order to play it again at my leisure.

Not everything on Iplayer is available on Sky catch up. This is down to BBC so you would need to contact them.

That's the one. Fantastic performance. Can't think why it would not be available on Sky Catch Up- Sky not paying BBC enough? Or what?? They can get Sam Smith(?) and Disco(?)- what have they to do with the Proms music? I pay for both Sky and BBC!

Do I contact BBC or Sky (here!)? or both? And how would I do it?

Any thoughts welcomed thanks!

Difficult to say really. The BBC retain ownership of all their own content and prefer people to watch it via their own iPlayer app, rather than a download saved on hardware operated by a different service provider.

You can ask Sky's viewer relations department by emailing them on this address:

ViewerR@sky.uk

They are probably best at advising you on why it's not available on Sky's catch up service. The BBC are most likely just going to advise you to watch on iPlayer.

@Tosh+McCaber

Do you have the iplayer app built into your TV, perhaps you could watch it via this instead ?

Thanks for all your replies- I guess I'll watch on iPlayer, until I get a response(hopefully!) from Sky!
