Wasn't there BBC bitcoin documentary as well recently?

I vaguely remember reading somewhere that BBC (or some other similar TV) was airing bitcoin documentary online just recently.
Does anyone know about it and where we can watch it?

I think you mean CNBC. It's available to watch online here

~~Your link is not working. Could you fix it?~~

EDIT: It works perfectly now. Thanks.

thanks but it's only 240p resolution.
Got any better?

It is going mainstream!!!

There's nothing on the BBC website about this or in the TV guide. I wonder when the first bitcoin documentary will get aired by mainstream TV though.

There is a great simple bitcoin introduction on the guardian but thats a newspaper, not sure about tv things.

Are you sure about this? I don't remember anything on Bitcoin being aired on BBC.

toooo DaaaaaAAAAA MooooooooooOONN!

Maybe this doesn't sound or seem interesting to us that are already familiar with what bitcoin is, but the fact that this aired in a channel like CNBC is great news.

The BBC's consumer tech programme, Click (formerly Click Online) apparently featured Bitcoin in an episode last year (I didn't see it, but this thread made me think of Click Online for the first time since I cancelled my TV license and stopped watching TV!): http://www.ovguide.com/tv_episode/click-season-2013-episode-23-08062013-4583511

Edit: here's the BBC iPlayer link (not sure if it'll work outside the UK Sad

TV channels talking about bitcoin is not something new really. RT has been doing so since early 2011. It gained more attention later so to me media attention NOW is not that special. Still nice to hear that though.

I think it depends on the channel and the programme - the BBC is major; Click Online - not so much. It's more "popular science" than the equivalent programmes on other UK channels ("win all these sponsored goodies!") but it's still pretty low-brow and unloved/unwatched, the kind of programme the BBC makes in order to justify receiving TV license fee cash...

I'm pretty sceptical about media attention anyway - but I have fairly unorthodox views on Bitcoin and mass adoption (I don't think my grandmother being able to buy her groceries with BTC is a compelling use-case for Bitcoin).

yes, but do we have it with better quality?

This is the original http://www.cnbc.com/id/101588166 but I don't think it is any better.

CNBC airing 240p stuff in 2014. Are they mad?

No, just saving money on bandwidth. The idea is you watch this stuff using a TV where they can make more money.

CNBC was worried that millions of bitcoiner will go to their site to watch the documentary lol. Tongue

rt is running a clip of a tech guy talking about bitcoin.. no real point to it.. other then to promote bitcoin really.. not attached to any headlines or anything. and rt get allot of viewers
