BBC RAD Labs
During 2008, BBC RAD Labs financially supported the URIplay project to develop ideas into a prototype, and then a full service. That phase culminated with the launch in spring 2009.

In spring 2009, 4iP invited MetaBroadcast to help with an experimental service based on URIplay. In the process, URIplay has learned to understand Channel 4 content, a knowledge it looks forward to sharing in the next release.
