    Performance Report July 2018 Richard Bell, BBC iPlayer BBC Communications 07725641207 | [email protected] July 2018 summary • In July the UK bathed in a glorious heatwave, and was hooked on the second half of the FIFA World Cup. BBC iPlayer is typically quieter during the sunnier summer months, but in July had a total of 281 million requests, up 13% on June, and up 19% compared to the previous year. • 22% of all requests were for live content in July. However, June 2018 saw an even larger share of live requests. Thanks to the start of the FIFA World Cup, live TV requests went up by 30% compared to May 2018. The overall share of live TV requests went up to 26% of all requests – the highest share of live viewing since the Rio Olympics 2016. • The FIFA World Cup has dominated the top 20 most-requested episodes, with the England vs. Sweden game reaching over 3 million requests. • Please note: Top performing episodes for May and June 2018 have been included in this pack. Consistent with previous months: • TV platforms remain the largest device type accessing BBC iPlayer with 52% of total requests. • The profile of BBC iPlayer users remains strongly under-55 in terms of age, which is younger than the typical TV viewer’s profile (although more in line with home broadband users). • BBC iPlayer is used for TV at roughly the same time of day as linear TV viewing, although there is proportionally more daytime and later-peak use.
