Demand for the iPlayer has grown strongly since it was first marketed at Christmas.
In the first fortnight 250,000 programmes were downloaded or streamed per day and the BBC says it broke through 500,000 mark last week.
Adding the 15.9m radio downloads/streams to the 11m TV downloads/streams in January, gives a total of 26.9m requests during the month.
Between Christmas Day and February 12, the 'Doctor Who' Christmas special, which featured Kylie Minogue, was the most downloaded programme, followed by the Louis Theroux documentary 'Behind Bars', while three episodes of 'Torchwood' featured in the top ten.
With the BBC claiming the iPlayer is helping to attract up to 1.3m unique users to the BBC website each week, Ashley Highfield, director of BBC future media and technology, was upbeat.
"While it's early days, early indications are that BBC iPlayer is having a significant effect in attracting new users to bbc.co.uk.
"To build on this initial success, we continue to reach out to audiences wherever they are, and we now have BBC-branded channels on Yahoo! and partnerships with MSN and Blinkx going live soon."
The BBC website drew an average of 20m UK users per week in January, up 20% on a year ago.
