The BBC iPlayer has again reached a new high in audience levels. In March the BBC on demand service recorded 320 million TV and radio requests, up 18% year-on-year and breaking the previous high of 315 million, only reached in January.
Taken alone there were 248 million TV programme requests, beating the January record of 242 million.
For the first time ever, TV requests from tablets and PCs were on par, both constituting 29% of all TV requests. Mobiles and tablets contributed almost half of all requests to TV programmes on BBC iPlayer, accounting for 115 million requests.
The use of tablets has been steadily building over the last 12 months when it sat at just 19%. In contast PC requests have fallen from 39% in March 2013.
During this time other means have remained virtually unchanged. TV platforms are currently on 16%; mobile devices 18%, while Internet TVs represent just 3% of TV requests.
