Full sum are not available, but the RFP is accepted to casing the program for a chronicle of iPlayer able of delivering Olympic calm in HD to multi-part screens and maybe ancillary larger levels of interactivity around the website.
The timing is engaging since the BBC had voiced in February 2011 that the thousands of hours of 2012 Olympics footage it will have but will be not able to to announce live would be existing on the iPlayer. At that time, the notion was that the iPlayer's inheritor would come out as segment of the YouView plan common mutually by the BBC with other leading allies inclusive the UK's obligatory telecommunications operator, BT, blurb free-to-air broadcaster ITV, and broadband user Talk Talk. YouView is due to be launched in February 2012, so the BBC's preference to ascent iPlayer might indicate it is not assured it will be entirely functional in time is to Olympics.
