Round the clock

The BBC seems to be quietly experimenting with internet broadcasting, but you have to know where to find it. 

It's entirely appropriate for UKTV, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BBC Studios, to be planning some 'FAST' channels - Free, Ad-supported, Streaming TV. And this week they've started with four, which endlessly rotate themed programming and ads.  They're called....

Heroes - medics, paramedics, nurses, and cops - the reality versions. 

Laughs - "invites comedy lovers to sit back, relax and lose themselves in the lighter side of life."

Full Throttle - cars, old and new, railways and planes

Uncovered - "for enquiring minds and delves into the darkest corners of history and engineering", but dominated by World War 2

However, those who patrol the darkest corners of iPlayer claim to have seen Non Stop Cartoons on the CBBC tab of the iPlayer, rotating 1440 minutes (24 hours) of animation 'all summer long'; and, under the category 'History', 1440 minutes of shows billed as the History Channel.  These are presumably FST channels, without the ads.
