RSS FeedsBBC iPlayer has record-breaking month with 1.4m users a day
Posted on 21 Mar 2010 at 10:50
The BBC iPlayer had its most success month ever in February, with an average of 1.4m users per day watching on-demand TV.
The most popular request was for the special live episode of EastEnders, which garnered 1.1m requests. This added to the total of 116.4m requests received for the entire month, for an average of 3.6m requests a day (2.5m TV requests and 1.1m radio).
These figures represent an 81 per cent increase on traffic from last February and show just how popular iPlayer has become. This massive increase in traffic came even with stiff competition from new services, such as Seesaw, and the BBC clamping down on third-party applications that let people watch iPlayer programmes. A further boost to traffic could come from iPlayer support in Freesat HD devices.
