The BBC will post clips of every TV and radio program it's ever made online, reports This is London. That's a lot of clips!

The venture will see a web page created for every episode of every programme screened on BBC radio and TV, and will form the basis of a future plan to create a massive searchable archive.

The pages will initially contain only information, clips and links, but the corporation hopes eventually to make whole programmes available.

BBC and EMI strike deal to put out unreleased music by Beach Boys, McCartney, Pink Floyd and more

Thousands of hours of radio and TV performances by EMI recording artists lingering in the BBC vaults may start slowly creeping out thanks to a new deal between the label and broadcaster, NME reports.

The recordings include live radio sessions from Pink Floyd - including songs from their 1967 debut album 'Piper At The Gates Of Dawn', when Syd Barrett, was still in the band and a stripped-down version of Coldplay's 2000 hit 'Shiver'.

The deal will mean EMI can include these BBC recordings from their artists on DVDs, CDs and digital downloads, and will build on recordings from artists already released by the BBC, including Queen and Roxy Music.

Fantagraphics plans Blazing Combat collection

Choice stories from Warren Publishing's mid-60s war comics anthology series "Blazing Combat" will be collected in a 200-page hardcover from Fantagraphics this December, IVC2 reports.

There were some top notch creators involved in the original series, which was edited by the legendary Archie Goodwin.

The artists on the series were a rogues gallery of top sixties talent, including Gene Colan, Frank Frazetta (who did all four covers), John Severin, Alex Toth, Al Williamson, Russ Heath, Reed Crandall, and Wally Wood.

The stories covered the full range of organized conflict, concentrating on World War II, but going back to the Revolutionary War and forward into the Vietnam War, which was raging at the time. They were “unified by a humanistic theme of the personal costs of war, rather than by traditional men’s adventure motifs,” as Fantagraphics’ description put it.

The anti-war stories were the reason for the magazine’s brief lifespan. “Landscape,” a story from the second issue reprinted in the Fantagraphics collection, led to protests and distributors refusing to carry the title.
