Someone I know was bemoaning about this the other day. Took me a while to register what he meant when he said the "BBC Sport app was closing". I understand the not having the internet argument but with a £39m running cost? That's a hard one to justify in the current climate.
God knows how that's costing them £39m a year though.

Can the Iplayer handle multiple live streams as the BBC Sport website often has.
Not sure how it's 39m when they just replicas of the phone apps.
Virgin have begun ditching a few SD simulcasts - slowly but surely we might be moving in the right direction.
Taking this back on topic what is the situation with BBC text on cable - is it now the "connected" version by default. Also is the connected version available on SkyQ - I know on Sky+ only the text version was available.
Reduces how much people can record - when ITV Hub wont put subtitles on pre 2016 tv's that not the best option for catchup.

Yes - the iPlayer can handle live streams that aren't 'channels'. They were doing it over the weekend with an FA Cup stream.
They've been doing those extra Wimbledon streams on the iplayer for years.
They have been on the soon to close BBC Sport connected tv App.
In TV Choice magazine today someone from Johnstone is moaning about the License fee being used to provide internet only services and it being unfair on them because they don't have the internet but are forced to pay for it - that's the level of luddite thinking out there in the public

Where were they when BBC Three closed down?
But it didn't close down, there's still a link on the website to BBC Three so it's still there and we'll hear nothing else.

There must be technical reason why this counted as the first iPlayer pop-up TV channel rather than the Wimbledon, Olympics and Glastonbury streams that been available until now - presumably not a simulcast of a red button stream, nor a raw-feed style service.

I'd guess because it had an actual schedule with programmes on it, as opposed to a stream that appears for one event and then closes off.
.....and to reflect that the meaning of “streams” have changed ....
and or the BBC Publicity not realising that Red Button video was NOT a channel ....
Even though it was curated which is why this iPlayer service is a Channel.
That's a hard one to justify in the current climate.
