BBC iPlayer
BBC iPlayer appears in 543 analyzed articles across the measured technology press. Recent coverage is steady, counting every mention over recent months. This page shows the public snapshot: movement, coverage mix, recent sources, and what drove the latest change.
Compass measures press coverage, not BBC iPlayer's product quality, business performance, or market value.
Counting every mention, coverage of BBC iPlayer is steady — it appears in 543 analyzed articles across the technology press.
What BBC iPlayer coverage is made of over time: story type, claim stage as reported, and press framing. This measures the coverage, not the product.
Story type and claim stage are shares of the 503 classified coverage items in this window.
How to read this
The stream below stacks each month's coverage by the lens you choose: Tone (how the press frames the story — promotional, skeptical, critical, or neutral), Story type (launches, funding, lawsuits, partnerships…), or Stage — how far the reported claim has gone: speculation → announcement → launch → results.
Taller bands mean more coverage that month; the dots beneath mark notable non‑neutral events. Every signal is sourced and dated.
How this is counted — why the article numbers differ
543 articles mention BBC iPlayer across the corpus. The coverage make-up above is measured on the 355 of them that were read into dated, classified coverage items — and one article can produce more than one item, because story type, claim stage and framing are read separately.

1 post on company and project channels mentions BBC iPlayer across the full 15-month record. They come from any company or project channel Compass reads, not only BBC iPlayer's own. They are counted separately from the 543 press articles.
Where they were published:Redis Blog · 1
Press coverage and company and project posts are two separate counts. Every press figure on this page, including the monthly line and the rising or falling call, comes from the independent press only. Before October 2026, Compass counted these posts as press coverage. How this is measured.
