BBC's iPlayer scores big, could revolutionize way shows are viewed
More than one million visitors went to BBC's newly launched iPlayer site during the fortnight ending Jan. 7. Over three-and-a-half million programmes have been watched via the iPlayer since it was launched on Christmas Day.
BBC's research showed that each streamed program is watched for slightly less than 25 minutes and that streaming is more popular than downloading by a factor of eight to one.
"Typically, people who use the BBC iPlayer are spending nearly half an hour a day watching streams of their favourite programmes, suggesting that it looks set to revolutionise the way BBC Television programmes are viewed in the UK," said Ashley Highfield, director of BBC Future Media and Technology.
"Significantly, while the BBC iPlayer allows the public to catch up on their favourite mainstream BBC shows, it is also encouraging to see that nearly half of all programmes streamed or downloaded are placed outside the top 50, demonstrating how on-demand services can bring niche programming to a wider audience."
This announcement comes just after ABC figures revealed that the number of users of The Telegraph's online video service had surged in November.

I am a student of journalism and have been doing a comparative study between the press in India and the press in France for a year now. I was quite taken aback to see the current state of affairs of the French press as far as viability goes. I'm curious to know why things have come to this. Are the reasons primarily economic or is the market changing too rapidly for the traditional press to react to or have the french stopped reading newspapers?
Now the print media will also get the benefit from the online ad market with the new solutions from leading advertiser.
Thanks!!!
Nice, very informative.
in terms of university, parisians etc. i just want to wish you the best sig. royal and my blog is attributed to you when referring to race, politics or gender. i am not good at clearly posting when this happens but i have contacted you- this is the very certain promise of support not afforded to other soc. as i do not know their policies in britain, i will attempt to remember le monde and the guardian in this and for the next few weeks with bery little will think axt on this, bon chancem bon couragem et pas bon anniversaire noon tu va reussir sand le tort.
I wont be used as a political, religious or sporting fixture.
I wont allow what has happened to me over the last decade or so to ruin my life because I realise how the British were aware they were using me as fodder for interntational relations and I loved them and they simply abused me and said put up.
I know enough to realise that the eu was right and that was the main aim.
I agree with some of the insights in the sciences; many of them in fact.
I realise the police state is moulded by war and needs it and that also the police state is alive only in the most warring and intensely consumptive nations.
I do not think I am ill. I am being manipulated and used by the woman who lives above me who keeps on doing what I have asked her not to do.
I have made an appeal to a lawyer as well to help.
I know now, harrowing as it becomes, that this ‘plan’ is executed upon the ethnic minorities and that this kind of planning feeds the European countries and the US, and trade and the media.
I am not responding or doing sport or news with a book or unknowingly writing anything. There is no connection between what I said I thought of something in the past and the single truth that I was and am being used while I see this seething hatred for the self and for children as some kind bargaining chip or sacrificial agent. This is the most important point.
I have nothing to say about religion but it hurts that some religious people knew. The same goes for the council and worst of all the academics.
I do not see a way out of these problems and the pain that is thrown at me becomes a question: I am hit and I ask the beater ‘why are you so sick’. And now I see the beater is something that inculcated at a point and in more of them than can be counted. i did not appeal to a public when i did what i di.
I am a good and loving person.
oui, le droit est un object ethique
la crise est la guerre est ca cest anglais, americain, et un peu religieux.
