Dois milhões de podcasts da BBC em Dezembro

"Quase dois milhões de podcasts da BBC foram descarregados durante Dezembro. Os programas da manhã mostram-se os mais populares, com Chris Moyles da Radio 1 no topo (o seu programa foi descarregado 446,809 vezes). O Today da Radio 4 vem no segundo lugar. Mark Kermode, autor do programa de cinema da Five Live e Chris Evans' Best Bits, da Radio 2, também estão no top 10".

Excerto: "The Best of Moyles mp3 - a 20-minute broadcast featuring speech highlights from the week - was boosted by daily podcasts when the show was in New York.

Moyles said: "I'm very pleased we're number one and that people are making an effort to listen to the show even if they can't be bothered to get up early to hear us."

BBC Radio 4 has a strong presence in the chart, with the Today programme's daily 0810GMT interview receiving 413,492 downloads in the month, while From Our Own Correspondent and In Our Time both performed well.

Simon Nelson, Controller of BBC Radio & Music Interactive, said: "It's fantastic to see how the demand for radio downloads has grown since we first offered them in 2004.
