This section has been reformatted in line with the BBC’s new reporting obligations in respect of Statements of Programme Policy. The table on this page appears for the first time.A number of tables which have historically been included in the section but are no longer relevant have been dropped. Further revisions are anticipated in the content of the section in next year’s report following the introduction of Ofcom-based reporting requirements during the year.

Reach comparisions should therefore be treated with caution as changes may partly be due to a methodological effect.Teething problems following this change mean that some viewing figures in last year’s BBC Annual Report have been subject to slight change, and have therefore been restated.The coding service used to measure combined BBC Radio and Television reach by genre (last year Table 6) ceased to be available after December 2001.That survey has been replaced by one that collects more robust data for a smaller number of programmes. Reach by genre across the full range of BBC Radio output is therefore not available. Data for new BBC digital services is for the period since launch only. For launch dates and an explanation of terminology in this section see page 133.
