The BBC's Live 8 website (bbc.co.uk/music/thelive8event) generated an unprecedented 14.6 million page impressions over the course of three days in early July; the largest ever volume of traffic to a BBC Radio & Music website over a three-day period.

 

The Live 8 WAP site for mobile phones generated 112,000 page impressions over the same three days.

 

The BBC's Glastonbury Interactive coverage was also well-received, generating 13.4 million page impressions in the fortnight of the festival.

 

The total for the online offering - which spanned five websites (Radio 1, 6 Music, BBC Somerset, BBC THREE and /music) - was three times last year's tally.

 

Away from the festivals, BBC Five Live Sports Extra's commentary on Wimbledon and the NatWest One Day Series contributed to 295,000 hours of live online listening for the network during June - its largest monthly listening total for nine months.

 

Wimbledon also contributed to a strong month for BBC Radio Five Live, which recorded its second highest number of monthly unique user agents and showed significant growth on last June – a month buoyed by Euro 2004 coverage.
