That’s the slogan behind a competition launched by the BBC, Britain’s principal broadcaster, to get developers to remix BBC content to make new applications.
“We want people to innovate and come up with prototypes to demonstrate new ways of exploring the BBC’s TV schedule,” project leader Ben Metcalfe says.
The backstage.bbc.co.uk competition opened in May but only became official yesterday.

The competition runs until September 5 and content feeds are now available for people to build with on a non-commercial basis.
