  • January 2016 Monthly Performance Pack
    Monthly Performance Pack January 2016 Mimmi Andersson, BBC iPlayer BBC Communications 07725641207 | [email protected] Monthly summary – January 2016 • BBC iPlayer and BBC iPlayer Radio had 315 million TV and radio request in January, an increase of 2% month on month. Overall increases were seen across all devices, most notably on mobile devices. • The increases across devices were mostly driven by radio requests, which increased by 15% in January compared to December, as people returned to their regular routines after the Christmas break. • One-off episode Sherlock The Abominable Bride was by far the most popular TV title in January, delivering over 2.3 million requests. Other New Years Day episodes proved particularly popular, with EastEnders and Billionaire Boy both also available on BBC iPlayer from that day. • BBC iPlayer’s exclusive comedy-drama film The Rack Pack made it into the top 20 most requested titles in January, in its first two weeks of availability. It continues to perform strongly with close to 1 million requests in total, making it the most successful BBC iPlayer Original to date • Radio comedy I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue and The News Quiz were the top performing episodes in BBC iPlayer Radio in January. Poirot, Test Match Cricket and regular series The Archers also did well. Consistent with previous months: • The profile of BBC iPlayer users has evened out over time in terms of male/female ratio, but remains strongly under- 55 in terms of age, which is younger than the typical TV viewer or radio listener’s profile (although more in line with home broadband users).
