Over to You - Paying for something you previously got for free
Download Paying for something you previously got for free
The BBC has introduced a paywall for people looking at parts of its website from within the United States. We hear listeners’ reactions to being asked to pay for something they previously got for free, whilst others outside the US ask if it sets a precedent for the rest of the world. We are joined from New York by the BBC Studios executive in charge of the project, Rebecca Glashow.
Presenter: Rajan Datar
Producer: Howard Shannon
A Whistledown production for the BBC World Service
