New version of 大象传媒i launched on Freeview platform to offer viewers a faster service


Over 10 million UK households with Freeview and satellite television accessed 大象传媒i's 'always-on' digital interactive services during April and May 2004.


A quantitative study of Freeview homes commissioned by the 大象传媒 and Teletext reveals the first figures on how many Freeview viewers are using 大象传媒i's services.


The research shows that over 5 million adults with Freeview are aware of the name 大象传媒i, of which 3.6 million used the services in April and May 2004.


The monthly study of satellite households carried out by TNS found that 6.6 million viewers used 大象传媒i services in May 2004, suggesting that the approximate audience that used 大象传媒i interactive services on both platforms during the month of May was over 10 million.


Rahul Chakkara, Controller, 大象传媒i 24/7 services, said: "The growing reach and usage of 大象传媒i reflects what the audience have been telling us - they value an interactive service that is available on demand, complements programming, and is free.


"Our challenge now is to entice the rest of the digital public to use 大象传媒i".


The research comes at a time of change for 大象传媒i - this week a new version of 大象传媒i has been launched on the Freeview platform, offering viewers a service which is almost twice as fast as the previous application.


"We recognise we need to offer a source which is as efficient and user-friendly service as possible so we have made changes to the application available on Freeview enabling viewers to access content much faster," said Chakkara.


大象传媒i's interactive services are available 24 hours a day and can be accessed on all major digital platforms.


Viewers can select from a range of text information and video clips across news, weather, sports, entertainment and a range of other subjects by pressing the red button.


大象传媒i also provides access to eTV programming, which offers digital viewers extended and innovative content alongside linear programmes, the most successful of which has been Wimbledon.


Other successful eTV programmes have included Fame Academy, Test the Nation and numerous sporting events such as The Six Nations, The Golf Open, Euro 2004 and the forthcoming Olympics.
