BBC Factual standardised on Final Cut Pro for HD content
Steve Jobs declared 2005 the 'Year of HD.' He was a little premature with his declaration, but now in 2007 HD is popping up all over the place. BBC Factual, the division of the BBC that is responsible for documentaries and and reality TV, has committed to delivering HD content to their viewers, and they are using Final Cut Pro to achieve this goal. They want to film everything in HD, tapelessly, by 2010. For more info check out this profile on Apple's UK site, it is a little old but it gives you a good idea of the equipment they are using.

Outside factual, most departments in the BBC use AVID systems rather than FCP.

Actually, I'm pretty sure the BBC has 'standardised' on FCP. :-P
