June to August 2012 1 1 Performance Pack June to August 2012 Ian Walker, Publicist, BBC iPlayer BBC Communications 0770 388 6273 | [email protected] 2 2 Summary headlines – June to August 2012 • Record breaking BBC iPlayer requests in August – with a new high of 196 million – driven by the huge national interest in the London 2012 Olympic Games • Highest-ever requests per week (51m) and users per week (11.5m) on w/c 30th July 2012 due to the interest in the London 2012 Olympic Games coverage • Highest-ever requests from mobile and tablet devices in August (22m and 17m respectively), contributing almost a fifth of total requests in the month (19%) - driven by TV requests for programmes related to the London 2012 Olympic Games. • Highest-ever proportion (32%) of live TV requests in August driving by demand for live London 2012 Olympic Games coverage. • Previous record had been set the month before in July, when due to the Wimbledon 2012 Men’s Final and start of the Olympics, live viewing had increased to 24%. • The London 2012 Olympic Games ceremonies were the most-requested programmes in July and August • 3.9m requests for the Opening Ceremony • 2.1m requests for Closing Ceremony • Other popular TV programmes included Parade’s End, Accused, Citizen Khan and Bad Education proved popular in August. • On radio, Test Match Special and BBC 5live Olympics coverage topped the most-requested programmes chart in August. NOTE: The data in this report excludes the 24 web-only sports streams for the London 2012 Olympic Games. It includes all scheduled TV channel output. 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. 3 3 Index Page Content 4-7 Monthly BBC iPlayer requests by media type and device type 8 Notes about the data in this report 9 Monthly total requests 10 Average daily requests per month 11 Average daily users per month 12 Weekly requests – latest 6 months 13 Weekly users – latest 6 months 14 Top TV programmes 15 Top radio programmes 16 TV and radio requests - live vs catch-up 17 Use of BBC iPlayer for TV by time of day 18 Use of BBC iPlayer for radio by time of day 19 Profile of BBC iPlayer users 20 Glossary since since requests monthly BBC across iPlayer all Total Please refer to slide 6notes. slide forguide to refer Please Millions of requests per month with with a in requests a BBC increase to steep iPlayer the Olympics helped drive on Building the seenJuly, increase in 2009 record 196 million requests recordrequests million 196 for August , , and an Requests for TV programmes 196 191 192 190 187 187 185 185 all 178 175 Requests for radio programmes 167 - 162 time time for requests high TV of million 151 160 159 157 155 153 153 148 145 141 141 139 130 123 120 119 118 117 116 114 114 114 107 151 142 145 146 138 143 139 140 134 97 130 125 87 87 122 127 85 122 115 120 113 117 81 78 117 76 76 114 platforms, platforms, 108 109 108 97 69 93 88 84 86 87 91 62 86 87 86 78 71 62 61 59 55 52 52 51 50 45 48 49 46 46 46 46 44 44 45 45 42 40 40 38 37 36 37 35 33 33 32 33 32 32 32 30 31 31 29 30 28 27 28 28 27 26 26 26 25 25 25 24 18 16 Jul Jul Jul Jul Apr Jun Oct Apr Jun Oct Apr Jun Oct Apr Jun Feb Mar Dec Feb Mar Dec Feb Mar Dec Feb Mar Aug Nov Aug Sep Nov Aug Sep Nov Aug May May May May Sept Jan 09 Jan 10 Jan 11 Jan 12 Jan . 4 4 5 Requests for programmes by device type – TV and radio 5 All devices and platforms delivered an increase in the volume of requests in August compared with July – most notably on mobile (+29%) and tablet (+21%), which saw their highest numbers to date.

  • Media Nations 2019
    Media nations: UK 2019 Published 7 August 2019 Overview This is Ofcom’s second annual Media Nations report. It reviews key trends in the television and online video sectors as well as the radio and other audio sectors. Accompanying this narrative report is an interactive report which includes an extensive range of data. There are also separate reports for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The Media Nations report is a reference publication for industry, policy makers, academics and consumers. This year’s publication is particularly important as it provides evidence to inform discussions around the future of public service broadcasting, supporting the nationwide forum which Ofcom launched in July 2019: Small Screen: Big Debate. We publish this report to support our regulatory goal to research markets and to remain at the forefront of technological understanding. It addresses the requirement to undertake and make public our consumer research (as set out in Sections 14 and 15 of the Communications Act 2003). It also meets the requirements on Ofcom under Section 358 of the Communications Act 2003 to publish an annual factual and statistical report on the TV and radio sector. This year we have structured the findings into four chapters. • The total video chapter looks at trends across all types of video including traditional broadcast TV, video-on-demand services and online video. • In the second chapter, we take a deeper look at public service broadcasting and some wider aspects of broadcast TV. • The third chapter is about online video. This is where we examine in greater depth subscription video on demand and YouTube.

    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.
