Title: "Global Audience 308m"
Post by Administrator on May 21^st, 2015, 9:49pm

"The Press Gazette" reports that:-

"The BBC claims to reach a record 308m people a week across the world after changing the way it counts its audience.

The corporation now includes entertainment content, Facebook and Youtube views as well as BBC News usage in its estimate.

Its public aim is to have a global reach of 500m people by 2022."

The BBC Media Centre report is here.

"For the first time, television (148m) overtook radio (133m) as the most popular platform for BBC international news, and it is also the first time since the BBC tracked audiences for all three platforms – radio, TV and online (55m) – in English and 28 other languages – that they’ve all grown in the same year."
