  • April 2014 Monthly Performance Pack
    Monthly Performance Pack April 2014 Christopher Duggan, BBC iPlayer BBC Communications 07753302778 | [email protected] Monthly summary – April 2014 • TV and radio requests to BBC iPlayer were up +4% year-on-year, with average daily requests at 8.9m - remaining higher than we saw for much of last year • For the first time, TV requests from tablets contributed a higher proportion of requests (30%) than computers (28%). Mobiles and tablets combined contributed almost half of all TV requests to BBC iPlayer • EastEnders proved extremely popular on BBC iPlayer throughout April making up 16 of the top 20 iPlayer TV programmes - boosted by the Lucy Beale murder storyline • BBC Three documentaries Porn: What’s the Harm, Life and Death Row and Teen Killers: Life without Parole also performed well, generating almost 2.5 million requests between them. • Champions League Football generated large volumes of radio requests. And Radio 4 comedies The Unbelievable Truth, The Now Show and The News Quiz were popular, along with Radio 1 and 2 Breakfast Shows. 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) • 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

This provides an opportunity to consider the complementary roles of these services, as well as the combined impact of the entire BBC music radio portfolio and its offer to listeners 1.2 Our overall assessment is that the BBC makes a valuable contribution to music radio, but it needs to be held to account more firmly against its public service remit. Peak hours in particular are largely devoted to popular music programmes and are not providing sufficiently distinctive content for listeners. Public service content is scheduled mostly in off peak hours. 1.3 Independent consultants BDRC Continental were commissioned to assess listener perspectives on the output of Radio 1, Radio 2 and Radio 3.
