The BBC has made a promotional video to show how Canvas, the proposed hybrid broadcast and broadband platform that has yet to be approved by the BBC Trust, might be presented to the public.

Short on any substantial detail, its consumer-friendly approach raises more questions about the role of the BBC in promoting such a platform. - Ian D. Nock
