OT Live Streaming Radio 4 News

[Christopher Woods]

Is the interruption during an OK stream, or from the first moment you connect?

Some highlights or clips from sporting events may not come with requisite 
rights to be broadcast online, even when part of a news bulletin (given 
FM's restricted coverage versus worldwide reach of Internet).

It's not preferred editorial practice to include non-clear material in news 
bulletins, but wouldn't be unheard of. I can ask around with some people; 
they may be able to blank on a per-second level which is handy

There's always the chance it could be technical whoopsies but I think 
that's small.
