problems with the BBC ... again

After using the BBC as a model of good online practice for years, I am coming across too many examples of dubious practice - and here's another.

This time it is the fact that some radio programmes seem to have two web pages - depending how you get to them, the 'Pick of the Pops' show has two seperate websites. Hmmmmm?

gone - but forgotten, apparently

A significant advantage that the web has over other media is the ability to have its public message changed [almost] instantly - unlike, say, the printed media. The BBC know this well and use it on their 'news' pages. So why have they forgotten the fact with regard to their published listings for up-coming shows.

One of the main news stories in the UK this week was the Brand/Ross telephone prank. By today the storm was passing after a couple of resignations and a suspension. As the presenters would not be available for tomorrow's radio show it seems odd that the Radio 2 website still lists that show on their listings.
