Late last year the BBC announced the will be overhauling iPlayer in a similar way to Netflix. However COVID-19 came and there hasn't been any news since. I'm not sure if the will still do it.

Could you detail this further, I don’t remember hearing anything about this so if you have an original source then please share it.


The iPlayer app had a slight update at the beginning of the year, making boxes a bit smaller, and making it easier to see All the programmes from a channel/category.

This is what the original poster is referring to.

I feel like it may be delayed to next year because of the pandemic

Agreed. Development probably stalled because of it, that's why we've heard no more about it.
Ittr and JetixFann450 gave kudos

I think branding anything with "2020" at this point is just asking for trouble.
