Monthly Performance Pack April, May & June 2016 Mimmi Andersson, BBC iPlayer BBC Communications 07725641207 | [email protected] Monthly summary – June 2016 • Major events in the sporting calendar began in June, including Wimbledon and the UEFA Euro 2016 football tournament. BBC iPlayer saw an excellent start to the ‘Summer of Sport’ season, with 290 million requests across TV and radio. This was an increase of +6% on May, and higher than June 2015 by +39m requests. TV requests increased +9% month-on-month to 229 million, BBC iPlayer’s highest-ever performance for the month of June. • Live viewing grew to 11% of all TV requests, the highest level since mid-2014. And BBC iPlayer (TV and BBC iPlayer Radio) saw the highest ‘unique browser’ reach on record, with an average of 19.9 million unique browsers weekly across June. • The appeal of a ‘Home Nations’ football match, played during office hours. proved a winning combination for BBC iPlayer, with the England v Wales match for UEFA Euro 2016 being, by far, the most requested programme in June, delivering 2.8 million requests. Top Gear continued to be popular as usual, and new dramas Versailles and New Blood rounded out the top 5 most-requested programmes (along with EastEnders), all delivering well over 1m requests. • In a similar story for radio in June, the England v Wales match in UEFA Euro 2016 was also the most popular programme (coverage from BBC Radio 5 live Sport, which delivered 263k requests for BBC iPlayer Radio). • Note: we have included the top 20 episode tables for April and May in this report as well as June’s. -

Transcript for Professor Gernsbacher's Lecture Video: “Why Do We Binge-Watch?”
Transcript for Professor Gernsbacher’s Lecture Video: “Why Do We Binge-Watch?” Ever had that experience of binge-watching a TV series, and you become so absorbed that you forget to eat lunch or you miss your subway stop? Or you keep clicking for the next episode and when you look up, the house has gotten dark around you, and you realize you’ve been watching for hours? Oh, wait just a minute. I read that wrong. Here’s the correct quote: CLICK - Ever had that experience READING A NOVEL when you become so absorbed that you forget to eat lunch or you miss your subway stop? CLICK - Or you’re TURNING THE PAGES so fast, when you look up, the house has gotten dark around you, and you realize you’ve been squinting to see the words. CLICK - We call this “getting lost in a book,” and we could all name a novel that has caused us to CLICK - Get lost in a book. In a Two Thousand and Fourteen article on the website, Thought Catalog, Francesca Saunders urges us to QUOTE “Curl up in your bed, on the floor, the backseat of a car, the plastic bench of a train. Open up a book and … Fall so deeply into this imagined world, [that you] forget where you are. You stop hearing anything that isn’t on the page in front of you.” UNQUOTE CLICK - What does getting lost in a book feel like? Saunders relates that QUOTE Getting lost in a book is like getting hit by a truck, like waking up at 10 pm from a nap. -
John Osborne's Radio Head
Lingua e comunicazione inglese III (cfu 3) (2/9, Friday 15 March 2013, h. 08:00–10:00, aula A8) prof. Iain Halliday Corso di laurea: Lingue per la comunicazione internazionale John Osborne’s Radio Head: Up and Down the Dial of British Radio The last paragraph of Osborne’s introduction to his book will serve us well for some linguistic considerations, and to help me create an introduction to this module: “I decided to do something with my love of radio. Despite being a regular listener since those early days of enjoying Just a Minute, I had barely scratched radio’s surface. Scrolling through the presets of my digital radio I realized how much radio there was that I had never heard, and would have no reason to listen to. So I started to tune in to a different station every day and wrote about what I heard. I listened from the moment I woke up, listened while I was at work and carried on until I went to bed. I had a job doing data entry and so was able to listen at my desk to the sounds of the radio stations of the UK rather than office conversations. I discovered stations I never knew existed, listened to shows I had never heard before, from Dynamite MC on Kiss FM to Woman’s Hour on Radio 4. I decided to try to learn about radio and speak to people I had grown up listening to, as well as those who worked in key roles in the radio industry. -
