Radio 1's website received a record 72 million page impressions in
March, a huge total driven by online support for Comic Relief
and the Chris Moyles Red Nose Rally minisite in particular.
The site – which visually plotted the DJ's progress across the
country via his mobile phone - generated nearly 13 million page impressions
and helped push his monthly 'on demand' listening requests past 400,000.
The online photo gallery of Radio 1 DJs showing on-air support for
Edith Bowman's bid to win Comic Relief Does Fame Academy
also contributed more than 2.8 million page impressions.
Radio 1's sister station, 1Xtra, launched Taggerz in
March to a warm reception. The interactive animated drama, based on
the lives of a crew of graffiti artists, attracted almost 40,000 unique
user agents to the minisite. The network is also represented in the
on demand Top 30 by the M1X Show and Robbo Ranx Dancehall Splurt.
Overall use of the new Radio Player continued to rise,
with more than 13 million hours of live and 'on demand' listening recorded
in March. Over 9.5 million programmes were listened to on demand and
all networks enjoyed record on demand listening hours - totalling 5.1
million – while live listening hit a new high of 8 million hours.
Other significant results from March include:
More than 100,000 MP3 downloads of ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ radio programmes,
taking the total number of downloads to date past 460,000.
The Radio 2 website smashed all its previous usage
records thanks to the unlikely pairing of Doctor Who
and Katie Price (a.k.a. Jordan). Despite coming second
in the Eurovision Making Your Mind Up! contest, Katie's profile was
one of the most popular areas on the Radio 2 site last month, as was
the Doctor Who minisite.
In addition to record site usage, Radio 4 and ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ
7 both attracted over 900,000 hours of on demand listening
last month, and between them accounted for a third of the programmes
in the Top 30.
