1 MEASUREMENT OF TV

2 MEASUREMENT OF TV IN NZ TV viewing is measured by one of NZ s leading research companies, Nielsen TAM. The Television Audience Measurement system (TAM) they provide is the single market measure for television ratings in NZ. TV ratings are the currency by which advertising is bought and sold in NZ. Nielsen recruit and carefully manage a panel of 600 homes across all of NZ (approx 1500 people) ensuring the panel is always representative of all TV viewing in NZ. A sample of 1500 people has a margin for error of +/-2.5%. Viewing is measured via Peoplemeters that are attached to all television sets in those 600 homes. The Peoplemeter system is widely used overseas. Viewing data is available to broadcasters and agencies by 9.30am the next day. The system provides independent and transparent TAM data for NZ. The system and results are independently audited to ensure accuracy and the broadcasters are closely involved with Nielsen to ensure the integrity of the system and results.

3 THE SEVEN STEPS 1. Establishment Survey The Establishment Survey is a large-scale, face-to-face survey, with two key objectives; to define the characteristics of all TV viewing in NZ, and to provide a pool of homes from which to recruit the panel. 2,500 households are interviewed each year 2. The Panel The Panel is made up of 600 homes (approx 1500 people), and is constantly balanced to ensure it meets a statistical sample design which represents the most important TV viewing variables (Eg age, gender, household size, region, number of TVs, presence of SKY and MySKY, ethnicity, and household tenure.) 3. The Peoplemeter The Peoplemeter is the preferred TAM methodology worldwide. It requires panel members to register their presence when they watch TV. The Peoplemeter records all their activities whether they changed channel, watched through the SKY platform, watched a recorded show, or even from their bedroom TV. 4. Polling Polling is the process of collecting the data every night, and occurs between 2am and 6am. This happens via different methods from fixed phone line through to using mobile technology
