[Swprograms] BBC News website now shows advertising

["Richard Cuff" <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

Not sure which day this started but a new banner now appears along the
right side of the BBC News website:  http://news.bbc.co.uk

So far the Radio 4 website, nor the main bbc.co.uk website appear to
be similarly afflicted.

So far the only thing I've seen there is a "notice anything different"
animated ad from the BBC, which - if clicked - leads to a site that
talks about the new advertising and has a FAQ available.

It does not appear (thankfully) that any sort of fees apply to
accessing Radio 4 content.

Also, the BBC Radio Player has been altered -- one outcome is that the
domestic services are now streamed at 64kbps.  World Service has been
upgraded slightly to 21kbps.

Hope everyone had a nice Christmas holiday -

Rich Cuff
