In total there were 107 million requests across all platforms (both online platforms and devices and Virgin Media TV combined). • The new series of Top Gear received an outstanding 1.2m requests for episode one, and Life, the Children in Need coverage and Russell Howard’s Good News also all boosted the overall figures. For radio, football coverage, The Chris Moyles Show and The News Quiz were among most popular titles. • Computer usage still dominates BBC iPlayer use (86% of requests), but the re-launch of BBC iPlayer on the Nintendo Wii has seen a rise in requests via this device. 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 November only 7% of requests were for live simulcast streams), however two-thirds 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.

A glossary is on page 18. • This data is collected via a BBC internal data warehouse (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 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 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 4 for guide footnotes 6 Monthly BBC iPlayer Online Requests Across November 09 the BBC iPlayer received a total of 88.2m requests, the best month since launch in 2007 – driven by a record 59.6m requests for TV programmes, and 28.6m requests for radio programmes. 100 88.2 79.3 80 71.0 70.6 68.8 28.6 63.5 64.5 60.8 61.3 26.1 60 54.4 25.7 25.5 26.5 46.8 25.4 26.8 23.6 24.7 18.4 40 16.1 Monthly Requests (m) 59.6 53.2 44.9 44.5 20 43.3 36.0 36.7 37.1 39.1 36.5 30.8 0 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov TV Requests Radio Requests Please refer to slide 4 for guide footnotes 7 Average Daily BBC iPlayer Requests In November 09 the BBC iPlayer attracted an average of 2.9 million requests for programmes each day, the highest figure on record – 2m daily for TV programmes and an average of 1m for radio programmes. 2.90 3 2.60 2.5 2.37 1.00 2.28 2.22 2.05 2.02 2.08 2.04 1.94 0.80 2 1.73 0.83 0.88 0.82 0.66 0.86 0.79 0.82 0.82 1.5 0.60 1 2.00 1.70 1.45 1.40 1.48 Average Daily Requests (millions) 1.29 1.26 1.14 1.18 1.24 1.22 0.5 0 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov TV Requests Radio Requests Please refer to slide 4 for guide footnotes 8 Average Daily BBC iPlayer Users In November 09 the BBC iPlayer attracted an average of 1.2 million users each day, the highest figure on record – 0.9m requesting TV content only, 0.3m requesting radio content only, and 50k requesting both types of media. 1.4 1.21 1.2 1.05 0.3 0.96 1.0 0.90 0.87 0.84 0.27 0.81 0.80 0.80 0.80 0.05 0.77 0.8 0.28 0.26 0.04 0.27 0.27 0.24 0.26 0.24 0.25 0.04 0.26 0.04 0.6 0.03 0.03 0.03 0.03 0.03 0.03 0.03 User agents (millions) 0.86 0.4 0.74 0.60 0.64 0.54 0.53 0.54 0.53 0.57 0.48 0.51 0.2 0.0 Jul Jan Apr Jun Feb Mar Oct Aug Sep Nov May Users of TV Only Users of Both Users of Radio Only Please refer to slide 4 for guide footnotes 9 Weekly BBC iPlayer Requests November continued to see record numbers of TV & Radio programme requests.

  • Warburton, John Henry. (2010). Picture Radio
    ! ∀# ∃ !∃%& ∋ ! (()(∗( Picture Radio: Will pictures, with the change to digital, transform radio? John Henry Warburton Master of Philosophy Southampton Solent University Faculty of Media, Arts and Society July 2010 Tutor Mike Richards 3 of 3 Picture Radio: Will pictures, with the change to digital, transform radio? By John Henry Warburton Abstract This work looking at radio over the last 80 years and digital radio today will consider picture radio, one way that the recently introduced DAB1 terrestrial digital radio could be used. Chapter one considers the radio history including early picture radio and television, plus shows how radio has come from the crystal set, with one pair of headphones, to the mains powered wireless with built in speakers. These radios became the main family entertainment in the home until television takes over that role in the mid 1950s. Then radio changed to a portable medium with the coming of transistor radios, to become the personal entertainment medium it is today. Chapter two and three considers the new terrestrial digital mediums of DAB and DRM2 plus how it works, what it is capable of plus a look at some of the other digital radio platforms. Chapter four examines how sound is perceived by the listener and that radio broadcasters will need to understand the relationship between sound and vision. We receive sound and then make pictures in the mind but to make sense of sound we need codes to know what it is and make sense of it. Chapter five will critically examine the issues of commercial success in radio and where pictures could help improve the radio experience as there are some things that radio is restricted to as a sound only medium.

  • IS and Cultural Genocide: Antiquities Trafficking in the Terrorist State
    JSOU Report 16-11 IS and Cultural Genocide: Antiquities Trafficking Howard, Elliott, and Prohov and Elliott, JSOUHoward, Report IS and Cultural 16-11 Trafficking Genocide: Antiquities JOINT SPECIAL OPERATIONS UNIVERSITY In IS and Cultural Genocide: Antiquities Trafficking in the Terrorist State, the writing team of Retired Brigadier General Russell Howard, Marc Elliott, and Jonathan Prohov offer compelling research that reminds govern- ment and military officials of the moral, legal, and ethical dimensions of protecting cultural antiquities from looting and illegal trafficking. Internationally, states generally agree on the importance of protecting antiquities, art, and cultural property not only for their historical and artistic importance, but also because such property holds economic, political, and social value for nations and their peoples. Protection is in the common interest because items or sites are linked to the common heritage of mankind. The authors make the point that a principle of international law asserts that cultural or natural elements of humanity’s common heritage should be protected from exploitation and held in trust for future generations. The conflicts in Afghanistan, and especially in Iraq and Syria, coupled with the rise of the Islamic State (IS), have brought renewed attention to the plight of cultural heritage in the Middle East and throughout the world.

    Berry, Richard (2013) Radio with pictures: Radio visualization in BBC national radio. The Radio Journal, 11 (2). pp. 169-184. ISSN 1476-4504 Downloaded from: http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/id/eprint/5210/ Usage guidelines Please refer to the usage guidelines at http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/policies.html or alternatively contact [email protected]. Radio with Pictures: Radio Visualisation in BBC National Radio Richard Berry University of Sunderland Abstract. Radio has always had pictures. The ones the listener created in their own minds and this is, most of us agree, one of the medium's greatest strengths. However, radio is increasingly consumed on a digital platform (such as DAB Radio, Digital TV, a mobile device or a computer) on devices with screens, rather than a dial. This creates a problem for radio because when we look at the device we are listening to we see a screen that often lacks rich content. The process of Radio Visualisation is about filling this space. This papers focus, though, is the other ways in which radio is visualising itself online in a process that deploys transmedia storytelling techniques that build relationships with the audience, builds brands and helps broadcasters to tell stories in ways never before possible. In the spring of 2011 2.84 million British TV viewers watched a radio programme on their Televisions. They were tuning in via interactive television (or the 'red button') services to watch the BBC Radio One breakfast presenter Chris Moyles attempt to break a world record for the longest radio programme. The BBC installed a series of fixed cameras in the programme’s regular studio at the BBC's Yalding House studios, with added 'roving' cameras to allow the presenters to broadcast from other parts of the building and a cafe across the street.
