Big numbers

I not entirely sure why Lord Hall was on The Andrew Marr Show this morning. Some factoids emerged: the BBC's reach is up to 94%. I presume that figure is produced in the same way as usual: the percentage of UK adults in online homes who use BBC Television, Radio or Online each week. It may be taken from work done in preparation for the next Annual Report, due in July. In the 2018/19 Annual Report it stood at 91%, from 92% the previous year.

The BBC's most penetrated group (that sounds awful) is the over 55s, standing at 92% in 2018/19.

Lord Hall also said that 92% of his employees were working from home (that's up from a previous figure of 90% shared earlier in the epidemic). The BBC holds £1bn in net book value of property, plant and equipment. It saved £130m in property expenditure in 2018/19.  They must be looking for more now.
