Monthly Performance Pack August 2015
Mimmi Andersson, BBC iPlayer BBC Communications 07725641207 | [email protected] Monthly summary – August 2015
• 278 million TV and radio requests for programmes on BBC iPlayer in August – up +8% on July 2015 (and up +13% on August 2014) - making an early exit from the traditional summer lull, helped by the return of The Great British Bake Off. (Radio requests are still being undercounted due to changes made to radio streaming services - more details are on slide 4.)
• 226m TV requests this month, up +11% on July and up +24% on August last year. (TV stats now include content which is only available on BBC iPlayer, as well as programmes broadcast on BBC TV channels.)
• Episodes 1-4 of The Great British Bake Off were the most-watched episodes in August, delivering over 1.5m each and a total of 7.3m across all four episodes. Behind the ever-popular EastEnders, new dramas The Scandalous Lady W, Partners in Crime and Ripper Street were all popular.
• For radio, The Ashes continued to deliver the most-requested episodes in August, with Radio 4 comedy and drama making up the rest of the top 20. 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 traditional radio listening, which peaks at breakfast-time.

Slide 3 Total monthly BBC iPlayer requests across all platforms, since 2009
278 million TV and radio requests for programmes on BBC iPlayer in August – up +8% on July 2015 (up +13% on August 2014) and making an early exit from the traditional summer lull, helped by the return of The Great British Bake Off. Radio requests are still being undercounted due to changes made to radio streaming services (find out more on the BBC Internet blog). * This month we have added requests for programmes which are only on BBC iPlayer to the totals for programmes previously broadcast on BBC TV
channels. On average this has boosted the totals by 2%. This data has been back-dated to January 2014.

This shows the seasonal pattern of BBC iPlayer. Because a lot of BBC iPlayer viewing is simple catch-up, there is a strong link with programming broadcast on BBC TV channels – so highest in autumn and winter; however major events and schedule variations cause significant monthly differences. The line for 2015 shows a strong August for BBC iPlayer TV viewing, helped by the return of The Great British Bake Off.

* Figures now include requests for programmes only on iPlayer. Slide 6 Please refer to slide 12 for guide notes Weekly unique browsers to BBC iPlayer
As well as measuring the number of requests for programmes, we also measure unique browsers to BBC iPlayer. “Unique browsers” is an industry-standard measure of unique devices/web browsers (not individuals) accessing a service. If a person uses a different device at work and at home, or uses two different browsers on one computer, they would count as two unique browsers. Conversely, if multiple users watch or listen on the same device/browser, only one unique browser would be counted. In August 2015, there were an average of 15.5m unique browsers per week to BBC iPlayer (both TV and Radio) on the website. 20 18 16 15.5 14 All BBC iPlayer 12.9 Browsers 12

Please refer to slide 12 for guide notes Slide 11 Notes for figures in this report
This month we have added requests for programmes which are only on iPlayer to the totals for programmes previously shown on linear TV. On average this has boosted the totals by 2%. This data has been back-dated to January 2014. Some changes were made to radio streaming services in February , which has resulted in gaps in our reporting for some streams. Find out more on the BBC Internet blog. Some TV request data was not captured in March 2015. We estimate around 17m requests are missing from TV platforms in March. Some TV request data is also missing for 2014 - about 3.5m requests in August and 11.5m requests in September from computer devices, and about 6m requests are missing in November, across all device types. We are not including these estimates in the graphs in this report. The remainder of this report excludes data from Virgin Media cable and Sky. Virgin Media cable is not included as the data arrives later than BBC internal AV stats and Sky is treated separately as it is not currently consolidated within BBC iStats AV systems. These notes apply to all the data in this pack and should be included as footnotes when quoting any of these figures. A glossary is on page 20. • Requests data is collected via a BBC internal data warehouse (BBC 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. Unique browser data is reported by the Comscore Digital Analytix tool. • In 2009 the BBC refined its methodology for measuring AV requests, so figures for 2007/8 are not comparable. • Note on the top 20 lists for TV and radio episodes: these show the most-requested individual episodes for the month, for interest, but only represent a fraction of all the episodes available on iPlayer. They are indicative only, since they do not represent total request numbers per series. • 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 • This data includes requests via 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. • 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 quote the source of request figures as “BBC iStats”.
Slide 12 BBC iPlayer - top 20 TV episodes, August 2015 (excluding Virgin Media cable and Sky)
Episodes 1-4 of The Great British Bake Off were the most-watched episodes in August, delivering over 1.5m each and a total of 7.3m across all four episodes. Behind the ever-popular EastEnders, new dramas The Scandalous Lady W, Partners in Crime and Ripper Street were all popular.

• Download – save to your device to play later. We cannot report on playback of downloads due to technical and data privacy restrictions
• Users – a count of browsers accessing the online BBC iPlayer service. So, please note: if someone has a different device at work and at home, they are counted twice. If a family watches on one device together, only one browser is counted. This is the industry-standard way of counting “users” or “visitors” to websites
• Requests – the number of successful requests to stream or download a programme. We only count successful requests, where a stream or a download actually starts, rather than “clicks” which can be repeated if the user does not see an immediate reaction on the website
• Catch-up / on-demand – programmes requested after they have gone out on traditional TV/radio stations and are available on BBC iPlayer
• Live / simulcast – streaming of live TV channels / radio stations on the website, at the same time as broadcast on traditional TV / radio stations
• Unique browsers – A browser is a unique and valid identifier to measure the number of device profiles requesting digital content. Device profiles may include individual browser versions on a PC, mobile phone or internet enabled device. Any single device can use multiple browsers.
