It's busy on the blog this week.
But there's still room for May's performance pack for ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ iPlayer (available as a PDF to download).
Highlights as always selected by the Communications team:Ìý
In May 2011 the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ iPlayer received 159 million requests for TV and radio programmes in total.
Weekly user numbers were strong this month. The week of 9th May delivered a new record of 7.2 million online users in one week (excludes Virgin Media cable).
The Apprentice and Doctor Who dominated the top ten most-requested TV episodes this month. It was also a strong month for factual content - including Louis Theroux: Miami Mega Jail, new series Inside the Human Body and Panorama: The Death of Bin Laden - as well as entertainment, including Russell Howard, the Eurovision Song Contest and Psychoville. New dramas The Shadow Line and Exile were also in the top 20. Ìý

I make this request in respect of online radio, since it seems that live per-station and programme-specific TV figures are reported quite widely and promptly in the press, no doubt in large part due to the modern technology used in recording the figures. For radio however, all we have is the venerable and often-disputed RAJAR diary system, and these (live only) RAJAR figures are available only each quarter of course. As your successive performance packs have shown, online consumption is a growing and now significant proportion of total consumption. Were the online reach and hours figures for the different radio stations made available (the "online RAJARs"), not only would they be a useful accompaniment and comparison to the live-only per-station official RAJAR figures, but they could also include the interesting differences between the split of online live and online catchup for each radio station.

Secondly the use of requests as the criteria is fine, but what would be more valuable is to know if a request is counted again if users click forward to avoid the ident intro.. or fast forward to a specific section of the programme. I would also want to know if a request is counted iif only 30 seconds is consumed (because of playback issues for example). What proportion of people get to see the whole programme - YoutTube can supply such data - specific to account holders, so why not the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳?
