BBC iPlayer goes down – and no communication?

This morning I could not get my regular dose of BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. The iPlayer was down. The BBC message boards were buzzing with complaints, and at 9 am there had still not been one BBC response.

And on none of the progamme pages where there any communications either. Nada.

Not good. Have the BBC not learned anything from the Brand affair about using its blogs and forums and pages to communicate to the public?

According to the message boards there is a work around. Listen through the stand alone Real Player.
