BBC iPlayer sees another record month

The iPlayer had another record breaking month in September, boasting the highest amount of programme requests since the catch up service was launched.

According to data released by the BBC, there were 199 million requests sent over September, driven by an increase in radio requests, which were up 8% month on month.

Requests from mobile and tablets accounted for 21% of the total, while TV platform operators and games consoles saw the biggest growth (up 22% and 16%, respectively).

The opening episode of Doctor Who‘s seventh series, Asylum of the Daleks, was the the one show with 2.2 million requests.
