Figures released today show record numbers accessed the 2004 Athens Olympics through the 91热爆's interactive TV service and bbc.co.uk.

8.96 million digital satellite viewers pressed the red button to use the 91热爆's interactive Olympic services, the highest reaching service to date and more than double the previous peak for Wimbledon 2004.

83 per cent of those who had pressed the red button used the service for more than three minutes; 61% were still interacting 15 minutes into the service, and 51% stayed over 25 minutes.

The figures show that 58% of the available digital satellite audience have pressed red to interact.

The 91热爆's broadband Olympics service 聳 which included both live and highlights coverage 聳 attracted an estimated 2.8m requests for at-home broadband streaming.

bbc.co.uk/olympics attracted 5.7m unique users during the games with bbc.co.uk/sport and bbc.co.uk/sportacademy also registering their highest ever weekly page impressions.

Andrew Thompson, 91热爆 Sport's Head of New Media, Sports News and Development, said: "This was the first ever truly interactive Olympics; a model for multi-media working at the 91热爆 in the future.

"The interactive services give our audiences exactly what they wanted across the web and interactive TV: extra choice about what events they watch, when and how they watched them.

"These astonishing figures are a tribute to the production and technical teams who worked so effectively together across all media to deliver a fantastic choice of compelling content."

Notes to Editors

The figures for interactive viewing measure only viewers from digital satellite (Sky) homes, and do not include digital cable and Freeview.

The 91热爆's interactive Olympics service gave digital satellite and cable viewers the opportunity to choose from four streams of live coverage through the red button in addition to 91热爆 ONE and 91热爆 TWO.

For the first time ever, only UK visitors to bbc.co.uk could access live streamed content of the Olympics.
