In a world where presentation of statistics ought to be straightforward, the BBC's Director of Journalism Jonathan Munro has laid out a right-old display of apples, pears and other ripe fruit to encourage his team toiling on the coalface of News Channels, streaming, live pages and more. It's a list of figures with no comparison to a 'normal day', but clearly a grand start to 'the evolution of our rolling TV News output'
'The sentencing of Olivia’s murderer was ... the first UK opt-out from the BBC News Channel - a good example of spotting a story of particular domestic interest [that'd be from a court diary, about a case that's never been far from the headlines over seven months]
'And that interest was evidenced in our figures - 400,000 viewers joined the stream via the Channel, iPlayer and Live Page, and we know that the majority of those came to us on their mobiles. Overall, our live page on that story pulled in 1.7 million views.
'But – perhaps predictably - it was Donald Trump’s court appearance which dominated, with 8.5 million live page views overnight, plus 5 million online visitors to the wider Trump coverage. The Channel stream lasted over 13 hours, capitalising on our deployments and analysis.'
