Two Teams From Lagos Selected To Pilot BBC Connected Studio Initiative

The BBC, as part of its Connected Studio and World Service initiative, has made the selection of two innovative teams from Lagos, Nigeria, to participate in her ongoing Connected studio objectives. The collaboration is in line with BBC's objectives to increase her media outreach to 500 million in the year 2020. Since the inception of the idea, which stimulated the first launch in Nairobi, Kenya,and South Africa, two pilots have successfully been developed and this is about to be built in Nigeria too.

This is another innovative idea initiated by BBC to bring her staff closer to the wider Digital Phase. This was introduced in 2011 with about 60 individuals working on the ideas for BBC Homepage. Its now about 3 year of committed work and the project has spanned across 10 BBC Online products, from CBBC to Sports, delivering 27 Pilots, 8 of which are in the Production Pipeline- they have made notes on the TV sections, following successful collaborations with BBC Comedy and so many other features.
