The BBC’s Lockdown Learning – which the broadcaster says is the biggest educational service in its history – has seen a sharp increase in viewers across all its slots.
With the UK in a third national Covid-19 lockdown, schools and educational establishments are closed for the foreseeable future. Lockdown Learning brings together BBC Two, CBBC, BBC Red Button, BBC iPlayer and online to deliver a new education offer to children, teachers and parents.
On TV, Lockdown Learning on CBBC saw the slot average (9am-noon) increase by 436% (age 4+) while BBC Two saw an increase of 29% (1pm-3pm). Both channels were compared with their slot averages of each Monday over the past 52 weeks.
