[email protected] Please refer to slide 6 for guide footnotes. 2 Monthly summary – August 2010 • In total the BBC iPlayer received 119 million requests for programmes across all platforms in August 2010, including both online platforms and devices and BBC iPlayer on Virgin Media TV. Requests are much higher than August 2009 with 70 million requests for TV programmes and 28 million for radio programmes, whilst requests on Virgin Media were up to 21 million. • BBC iPlayer’s most-requested title in August was Top Gear, with episode 6 attracting over 1 million requests. Sherlock and documentary Madness In The Fast Lane also delivered strongly, as did the BBC Three Adult Season. For radio, Fry’s English Delight attracted the most requests, followed by sport coverage. • Live TV viewing via the BBC iPlayer dropped back again this month to the level seen before the start of the World Cup. Consistent with previous months: • The profile of BBC iPlayer users is evening 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. • On-demand makes up the great majority of TV programme requests (in August, 8% of requests were for live simulcast streams), however about 69% of requests for radio streams 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, although there 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.

NB: iPhone data missing over 10 Nov–02 Feb, and Wii stats missing over 22-31 March, due to technical problems Please refer to slide 6 for guide footnotes. 6 Notes on figures in this report These notes apply to pages 4 to 17 in this pack and should be included as footnotes as relevant when quoting any of these figures. A glossary is on page 19. • 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 BBC data 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 not comparable. There may be further changes in the data in future releases as we continue to refine the methodology • Please quote the source of these figures as “BBC iStats” • Unless specified otherwise, figures include requests for both on-demand catch-up (streams and downloads), 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 for the online BBC iPlayer, available via computer / mobile / games consoles • This report does not include requests for web-only content (such as online news or sport coverage) – only requests for full-length programmes which have been transmitted on a TV channel or radio station Please refer to slide 6 for guide footnotes. 7 Monthly BBC iPlayer online requests There were a total of 98.1m requests to the online BBC iPlayer in August 2010; 70.1m for TV programmes, and 28.1m for Radio content. 120 110 Radio Requests 104 101 101 99 100 98 95 100 TV Requests 93 89 32.7 . 30.4 79 32.3 29.9 33.8 30.6 28.1 80 27.3 71 71 28.2 69 29.3 63 65 61 61 26.1 60 54 25.7 25.5 26.5 47 25.4 26.8 23.6 24.7 18.4 40 16.1 77.0 73.4 70.1 65.2 68.2 68.7 67.4 69.6 67.9 Monthly Requests (millions) 59.6 53.2 44.9 43.3 44.5 20 36.0 36.7 37.1 39.1 36.5 30.8 0 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug 09 10 Please refer to slide 6 for guide footnotes. 8 Average daily BBC iPlayer requests During August 2010 there were 3.2m requests per day on average – 0.9 million per day for radio programmes and 2.3 million for TV programmes. 4 Radio Requests 3.5 3.5 3.5 3.3 3.2 3.2 3.2 TV Requests 3.1 . 3.0 2.9 3 1.1 1.1 1.0 2.6 1.1 1.0 0.9 1.0 0.9 2.4 1.0 0.9 2.3 2.2 2.1 2.0 2.1 2.0 1.9 0.8 2 1.7 0.9 0.8 0.8 0.7 0.9 0.8 0.8 0.8 0.6 2.5 2.4 2.5 2.2 2.2 2.3 2.2 2.3 1 2.0 2.1 Average Daily Requests (millions) 1.7 1.5 1.4 1.5 1.1 1.3 1.2 1.2 1.3 1.2 0 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug 09 10 Please refer to slide 6 for guide footnotes. 9 Average daily BBC iPlayer users August 2010 saw an average of 1.2 million users per day, with 0.9m for TV content, 0.28m for radio content and 0.05m using both.

  • An Analysis of Hegemonic Social Structures in "Friends"
    "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" IF YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME: AN ANALYSIS OF HEGEMONIC SOCIAL STRUCTURES IN "FRIENDS" Lisa Marie Marshall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor Audrey E. Ellenwood Graduate Faculty Representative James C. Foust Lynda Dee Dixon © 2007 Lisa Marshall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the dominant ideologies and hegemonic social constructs the television series Friends communicates in regard to friendship practices, gender roles, racial representations, and social class in order to suggest relationships between the series and social patterns in the broader culture. This dissertation describes the importance of studying television content and its relationship to media culture and social influence. The analysis included a quantitative content analysis of friendship maintenance, and a qualitative textual analysis of alternative families, gender, race, and class representations. The analysis found the characters displayed actions of selectivity, only accepting a small group of friends in their social circle based on friendship, gender, race, and social class distinctions as the six characters formed a culture that no one else was allowed to enter. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project stems from countless years of watching and appreciating television. When I was in college, a good friend told me about a series that featured six young people who discussed their lives over countless cups of coffee. Even though the series was in its seventh year at the time, I did not start to watch the show until that season.

  • Turn Back Time: the Family
    TURN BACK TIME: THE FAMILY In October 2011, my lovely wife, Naomi, responded to an advert from TV production company Wall to Wall. Their assistant producer, Caroline Miller, was looking for families willing to take part in a living history programme. They wanted families who were willing to live through five decades of British history. At the same time, they wanted to retrace the history of those families to understand what their predecessors would have been doing during each decade. Well, as you may have already guessed, Wall to Wall selected the Goldings as one of the five families to appear in the programme. Shown on BBC1 at 9pm from Tuesday 26th June 2012, we were honoured and privileged to film three of the five episodes. As the middle class family in the Edwardian, inter war and 1940s periods, we quite literally had the most amazing experience of our lives. This page of my blog is to share our experiences in more detail – from selection, to the return to normal life! I have done this in parts, starting with ‘the selection process’ and ending with the experience of another family. Much of what you will read was not shown on TV, and may answer some of your questions (those of you who watched it!!). I hope you enjoy reading our story. Of course, your comments are very welcome. PART 1 – THE SELECTION PROCESS I will never forget the moment when I got home from work to be told by Naomi that she had just applied for us to be part of a TV programme.

  • What My Family Should Know
    What My Family Should Know A GUIDE FOR GETTING YOUR AFFAIRS IN ORDER Name: Date Completed: 1 Foreword We cannot stress too often the importance of getting your personal affairs in order. This process is important for everyone, but even more important for those who often find themselves living away from family and friends. Throughout your life, you have tried to protect your loved ones and now you have a chance to help them at a time when they will need that help the most. Taking the time to plan now and record information for your loved ones will be the most unselfish gifts of love you can give. What My Family Should Know Although many of us are efficient in our daily lives and keep meticulous records in our professions, most of us leave inadequate and incomplete records of our economic and personal affairs when we die. When and how your benefits will be paid and how your estate will be settled are many questions that must be answered. This guide has been compiled to help you record the necessary facts for your family, your attorney and your executor. We suggest you complete this record and store it in a safe place so it will be available for possible revisions by you and later use by your family. It is not recommended that you keep this guide in your safety deposit box since most are sealed after death. 2 PERSONAL INFORMATION Name: Social Security No. Date of Birth: Place of Birth: Current Home Address: Home Telephone #: Work Telephone #: Supervisor’s Telephone #: Prior or Permanent Address: Marital Status: Married: Divorced: Widowed: Single: Separated: Date and Place of Marriage: Name of Spouse: (Please complete if different than above) Current Home Address: Telephone #: Spouse’s Employer: Address of Employer: Work Telephone #: Name of Former Spouse: Current Home Address: Work Telephone #: Date & Place of Marriage: Date & Place of Divorce: Registry of Children: Given Name Date of Birth Place of Birth SSN Address Current as of: 3 PERSONAL INFORMATION - SPOUSE Name: Social Security No.

  • COVID-19 Self Isolation Family Guide
    COVID-19 Self-isolation Advice for Families Self-isolation is when you do not leave your home because you have, or might have coronavirus (COVID-19). It is very important that anyone who has the virus, or might have been exposed to it, restricts the number of people they come into contact with for 10 days. This is the most effective way of preventing coronavirus from spreading. If you test positive for coronavirus or have been identified as a contact by NHS Test and Trace, you must now self-isolate by law. Who needs to self-isolate? You will need to self-isolate for 10 days if: You have tested positive for coronavirus or have symptoms and are awaiting a test result Someone you live with has symptoms or tested positive Someone in your support bubble has symptoms or tested positive You’ve been told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace Find out more online: www.worcestershire.gov.uk/coronavirus How do I self-isolate? Day 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Day: 11 Symptoms Resume start or normal test date activities (if no following symptoms) COVID-19 guidance. Self-isolation Your isolation period includes the day your symptoms started (or the day your test was taken if you do not have symptoms) and the next 10 full days. If you have tested positive for COVID-19 or have been told to self-isolate, you must: Go home and stay home Not go out to get food and Not leave your home, unless medicine – order it online, for urgent medical reasons or by phone, ask a friend or you are at serious risk of harm contact Here2Help Stay away from those Not use taxis or you live with public transport Not go to work or school Not have visitors in your or public places home, including friends and family – except for people providing essential care Only take exercise within your home, garden or private outdoor space Talking to your child about coronavirus Children might not fully understand self-isolation and they will probably have mixed feelings about the experience.

  • Wherever My Family Is: That's Home!
    THE CHILDREN’S BUREAU presents Wherever My Family Is: That’s Home! Adoption Services for Military Families The Color Purple… In military jargon “purple” refers to an issue or operation that includes all uniformed services – Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine and Coast Guard. Purple is what you get when you mix the greens, blues and khakis of the various uniforms. In today's military climate, the services work jointly in many instances, overcoming hurdles en route to their goal. In the same way, adoption professionals and military families can be “purple” as they work towards the common goal of providing great families for waiting children. Special Acknowledgements The Families – we wish to thank the military families who so generously contributed their time and sto- ries to this Guide – George and Cecilia Greene Jan and Jenny January John Leavitt Jim and Gail McCloud Jim and Karen Potts We wish you and your families the best that life has to offer. The Social Workers – we encountered some very dedicated social workers in our journey. Our heartfelt thanks to: Margaret Linnemann, MSW, LCSW, Foster Care Program Manager, State of Oklahoma Robin Gibson, BSW, Adoption Specialist, State of Oklahoma Robin Preusser, VIDA, Voice for International Development and Adoption Your commitment is truly admirable! The Practitioners – we also want to acknowledge those “practitioners” (social workers, chaplains and other professionals) in military family service centers, adoption exchanges and public and private agen- cies who provide creative adoption services and support for military families and the children who wait. You know who you are! This Guide and all of the work of The Collaboration to AdoptUsKids is funded through a cooperative agreement with the U.S.
