Â鶹ԼÅÄ

If you’re anything like me and a massive sports fan, this summer has the perfect line up.  With Andy Murray winning Wimbledon along with Wales’ triumph at the Euros (I grew up there – so not just riding the glory wave) it’s got off to a great start.  And, with the Olympics starting in just under two week’s time, it’s about to kick off all over again. 

Our goal is to make this year’s summer of sport and live events the best ever, by making it more personal and relevant to you. 

Over 7 million of you have signed into the Â鶹ԼÅÄ in just over a year – and over a third of you come back on a monthly basis to benefit from a more personal experiences.  And since , we’ve seen huge numbers of people benefit from these signed-in experience.

As you might know, we offer push alerts for football matches, cricket teams, F1 races, rugby union and rugby league teams, and live event reminders. We recently launched news alerts for major sports - so people can get the biggest headlines for their favourite sports first.  Since launching this:

• 2.2 million of you have received alerts in the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Sport app
• We offered match alerts for every Euro team. No surprise -England and Wales were the most popular teams during the Euros
• And a massive 129,773,607 alerts were sent during the Euros

We also offered the  so that you could join leagues and compete to predict the results of Euro 2016.  This was more popular than we ever imagined with:

• 297,474 total players
• 7,277,318 predictions made
• 159,903 private league users
• And 36,842 private leagues set up

We are continually adding to the benefits you get from being signed in. For instance, last week we launched radio recommendations on the Â鶹ԼÅÄpage. 

I can’t put my phone down.  And I can see from our stats that I’m not alone.  More and more of you are watching, listening and reading content on-the-go on your mobiles – so as previously mentioned we’ve been building a .  The app brings together the breadth and range of content from across the Â鶹ԼÅÄ together in one simple, easy to use app that you can customise to your tastes and interests.  So, whether it’s talked about TV, breaking news, summer trends – or the latest craze (not mentioning Pokemon Go) – you’ll be able to find the content you care about – all in one place. You can read more about it .

I’m thrilled to say that we’re launching the first version of this today – and will be listening to you over the coming weeks and months to tweak and make it the best it can be.  I can’t wait to hear what you think of it and am looking forward to rolling out even more personalised features for the Greatest Show on Earth – The Olympic Games.  Come on Team GB!
