Monthly summary – April 2010

• April was another strong month for BBC iPlayer, with the highest number of requests for TVand radio programmes to date, boosted by the Easter Bank Holiday and the new series of 

Doctor Who.

• In total there were 123 million requests across all platforms (both online platforms anddevices and BBC iPlayer on Virgin Media TV combined) – 93 million for TV programmes and30 million for radio programmes.

• For TV, this month Doctor Who, Outnumbered and Russell Howard's Good News stood out,

whilst for audio requests football coverage and Radio 4 entertainment were in the lead.

• Consistent with previous months:

• The profile of BBC iPlayer users is evening out over time in terms of male/female ratio, butremains strongly under-55 in terms of age, which is younger than the typical TV viewer orradio listener’s profile.

• On-demand makes up the great majority of TV programme requests (in March only 8% of requests were for live simulcast streams), however about two-thirds of requests for radiostreams are for live programmes, as opposed to on-demand catch-up listening.

• BBC iPlayer is used for TV at roughly the same time of day as linear TV viewing, althoughthere is proportionally more daytime and late-peak use. For radio, BBC iPlayer is used

far more in daytime than traditional radio listening, which peaks at breakfast-time.

Notes on figures in this report

These notes apply to pages 5 to 17 in this pack and should be included as footnotes asrelevant when quoting any of these figures. A glossary is on page 18.

• This data is collected via a BBC internal data warehouse (BBC iStats). The methodology adheres to

industry standard guidelines as defined by JICWEBs and ABCe, with the exception that the BBCdata is based on a 25% sample of users and not 100%. The BBC are working towards 100%sample over the coming months

• In 2009 the BBC refined its methodology for measuring AV requests, so figures for 2007/8 are notcomparable. There may be further changes in the data in future releases as we continue to refinethe methodology

• Please quote the source of these figures as “BBC iStats” 

• Unless specified otherwise, figures include requests for both on-demand catch-up (streams anddownloads), or views of live simulcasts

• We cannot report download playback due to data privacy restrictions

• All data is for the UK only and excludes listening outside the UK

• January 09 data excludes 1-4 January 09 since changes were made to the measurement system on

5 January• This data includes requests via the BBC iPlayer on any BBC website – whether on a programme,

channel or station page, via the pop-out console, or on the BBC iPlayer website itself 

• None of this data following is for the BBC iPlayer on Virgin Media’s TV service - all is forthe online BBC iPlayer, available via computer / mobile / games consoles

• This report does not include requests for web-only content (such as online news or sportcoverage) – only requests for full-length programmes which have been transmitted on

a TV channel or radio station

Weekly BBC iPlayer Requests - latest 6 months

Weekly requests in April 2010 grew slightly across the month, for both TV and Radio, witharound 17 million TV requests per week and about 7 million radio requests per week.

* Technical problems - the data measurement systems failed over 10:00-20:00 on Sunday October18th, so while users successfully received programmes, we did not record their usage of iPlayer.

Glossary

Stream – click to play instantly

Download – save to your computer to play laterWe cannot report on playback of downloads due to technical and data privacy restrictions

Users – a count of computer browers accessing the online iPlayer serviceSo please note: if someone has a different computer at work and at home, they are counted twice. If a family watches ona computer together, only one browser is counted. This is the industry-standard way of counting “users” or “visitors” towebsites.

Requests – number of successful requests to stream or download a programme

We only count successful requests, where a stream or a download actually start, rather than “clicks” which can be repeatedif the user does not see an immediate reaction on the website.

Catch-up / on-demand – programmes requested after they have gone out on “normal” TV/radio channels and are available on iPlayer

Live / simulcast – streaming of live TV channels / radio stations on the website, atexactly the same time as broadcast on “normal” TV / radio
