BBC drew more than 19.3 million unique U.S. users in March, an all-time high, according to data from comScore, marking a 35 percent gain from its February unique user total.

Page views of 273 million for the month also represented a record, and the total was up 30 percent compared with February.

The BBC earned eight Webby Award nominations, including two for products that debuted in 2010: BBC Travel and the BBC News iPad app.
