BBC.com does have HTTPS, they support http for older clients I assume. They still had a WAP site as far as I recall.

    bbc.com redirects to bbc.co.uk in the UK, which is served over HTTPS. They just flipped that switch a couple of months ago, so I'd assume that it won't be long before bbc.com is also HTTPS.

  There is work undergoing to migrate bbc.com to HTTPS. Most BBC sites in the UK have already been switched over the past few months. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news https://www.bbc.co.uk/news was finished about a month ago. The BBC is a complicated beast and these sort of things take longer than you would think. We redirect to http in the meantime to not have both being indexed.
