To anyone who remembers the original post made by Tom Coates over here: http://plasticbag.org/archives/2004/06/developing_a_url_structure_for_broadcast_radio_sites http://plasticbag.org/archives/2004/06/developing_a_url_stru... This new post is a substantial expansion on the reasoning, the implementation, and the depth of the thinking reflected in the URL structure that the BBC uses. I was contracting at Red Bee Media for a portion of this time, and the project work to support a lot of this moved at an incredible pace (once the BBC had fed the requirements over), worth noting that RBM ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Bee_Media http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Bee_Media ) themselves were spun out of the BBC around this time. So you had substantial organisation change at the same time as these fast moving technical changes.
