Coverage Mix
BBC iPlayerproduct
483 classified coverage items · 319 measured articles · Jun 2025 – Aug 2026

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 483 classified coverage items in this window. Press framing is a share of the 482 of those whose framing could be read — vendor and primary-source items carry no framing.

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.

Coverage is 55% announcement-stage (by claim stage) and mostly neutral — but promotional framing runs at 46%, much of it on the News & updates · ExpressVPN storyline.

How this is counted — why the article numbers differ

430 articles mention BBC iPlayer across the corpus. The coverage make-up above is measured on the 319 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.
