Apologies for the double post, but the edit window on my last post has closed!

Looking at the tweet, the associated press release is from BBC Studios (which is probably no coincidence) and they refer to “audio versions available on BBC iPlayer in the UK - surely they mean video on iPlayer & audio on Sounds?

Also, the reference to extended versions on BBC Select in North America indicates that this is very much a project from the commercial side of the BBC.

It all sounds a bit like the “going beyond the news” type programming, deeper into discussion around the issues of the day, that Katty originally wanted to do when she left the BBC, and would probably have been doing on Ozy if that had been a success.
