How a TV Rating is measured .......

Using Peoplemeters:-Meter

Research Company

* Research company determines representative sample

* “Meters” installed

* Individual householder details recorded

* Householder “pushes button” when watching.

Recorded as a viewer

* Data on-line to research companyHandset

Using the Diary Method :-


Using the Diary Method :-

– Research company determines representative sample

– Weekly diaries circulated

– Panel members complete diary» Instructed to complete on a daily basis

» Research company has no control over panel

» Could be completed just prior to collection

» Accuracy dependent upon memorising viewing habits

– Diaries collected and processed by research company

DIARY– Based on recalled viewing– Manual self completion

» Less accurate» 1/4 hour GRPs

– 2/3 week delay in reporting results

– Panel viewing only– Paper access only– Delay in reporting new stations– Lack of targeting options– Limited reach & frequency data

Transition from Diaries to Peoplemeters

Transition from Diaries to Peoplemeters

Change should be made as soon as possible

– Desirable to both advertisers & agencies» Greater accuracy» Facilitates reporting on new stations

– Less desirable to broadcasters (especially monopolies) High costs involved

– Broadcasters are unlikely to meet all of the costs Lobby broadcasters and research companies

– Form partnerships with other advertisers Understand and question existing research

– Demand to see questionnaire
