BBC’s iPlayer traffic up over 152% but I still watch Top Gear on YouTube
Video Traffic in UK has seen an increase of over 40.7% in the last 12 months. According to the latest Hitwise Report out in February 2009, 1 in every 35 UK internet visits went to a specialist Video website. YouTube is the most popular video destination with over 61.9% market share, it was also the sixth most visited website overall.
iPlayer, BBC’s online video service was the second most visited video site with 11.2% market share in UK. Its traffic peaked during Christmas. Traffic to iPlayer has increased over 152.1% since last year. The site features all its TV and Radio series which is really cool. Unfortunately, BBC iPlayer TV programmes are available to play in the UK only. Guess will have to continue watching those Top Gear videos on YouTube…
Top Gear on BBC’s iPlayer will be a good combination. I guess the iPlayer has come to Nokia 5800 as well as iPhone.
