The BBC is planning to begin a permanent internet simulcast of one of its TV channels.
The corporation's director of TV, Jana Bennett, told the Media Guardian that there was a "wake-up call" when it emerged in March that the first episode of Doctor Who had appeared on the internet weeks ahead of its premiere on TV.
The simulcasts would only be made available to UK users, according to BBC News. The BBC already tries to block users outside the UK from accessing broadband streams of its existing online content.
The simulcasts are scheduled to begin next year, pending approval from the BBC's board of governors. It is likely that either BBC One or BBC Two will be streamed.
