BBC Radio 2 Beatles BBC Radio 2 Beatles
RADIO MUSIC BBC Radio 2 Beatles BBC Radio 2 Beatles Last September BBC Radio 2 produced a spin off four-day Beatles Pop-Up DAB service marking the 50th anniversary of the release of the iconic Abbey Road album, broadcast from Abbey Road Studios, and celebrating the Fab Four as a group, as individual artists, and as songwriters, with a mix of live shows, simulcasts (with the parent network), and classic content from the extensive R2 & Apple Records archive. This was a partnership between R2 and Apple/Universal Music, and because of the place the band hold in the hearts of the public, it was an opportunity to invite talent from right across BBC Radio (Scott Mills, Lauren Laverne, Zoe Ball, Nicky Campbell and Greg James), and the music and entertainment industries (Dave Grohl, Gary Barlow, Grace Dent, Jack Savoretti, Paul Merton, John Bishop, Katie Melua and Guy Garvey), to share their love of the band, and their music catalogue. By utilising these names, alongside radio brands like Desert Island Discs, Mastertapes & Sunday Love Songs, we could not only target the band’s evergreen fans, but also a new younger 25-44 demographic. We also weaved complimentary simulcasts into the schedule, kicking off with the UK’s most popular radio programme, the Ken Bruce Show, live from Abbey Road, and then a special live concert from Studio 1, featuring presenter Guy Garvey (who also performed), the BBC Concert Orchestra, Rick Astley, Mark King from Level 42, Ruby Turner and Cerys Matthews, all interpreting classic Beatles songs in front of a small audience of competition winners. -

September 2012
1 1 Monthly Performance Pack September 2012 Ian Walker, Publicist, BBC iPlayer BBC Communications 0770 388 6273 | [email protected] 2 2 Monthly summary headlines – September 2012 • Record-breaking 199 million BBC iPlayer requests in September– driven by an increase in radio requests, which grew +8% compared with the previous month. This is the highest ever number of requests per month. • Requests-per-week remained high in September (43 million average) and increased across the month, boosted by the start of the new TV autumn season. • Average daily requests reached a record 6 million programmes per day Across devices: • Mobile and tablet accounted for over a fifth of requests in September (21%). • TV platform operators (+22%) and games consoles (+16%) saw the highest growth in requests. By demographic: • The gender profile reached an even balance of male/female for the first time in Q2 2012 and a record 23% of requests by audiences over the age of 55 Popular content: • The start of the new TV season saw the first episode of Doctor Who Series 7 deliver the highest number of requests for a single programme (2.2m), and all 5 episodes featured in the top 10. Citizen Khan along with documentaries such as Panaroma and Andrew Marr’s A History of the World also performed strongly this month. • On radio, the final episode of the Chris Moyles Show topped radio requests this month (427k), whilst sports coverage of Andy Murray winning the The US Open and Team Europe winning The Ryder Cup also proved popular. 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). -
