SOURCES The Nielsen Company All Nielsen data come from Nielsen s national PeopleMeter sample for Live+7. Broadcast season dates: 9/21/2015-9/18/2016, 9/22/2014-9/20/2015, and 9/23/2013-9/21/2014. For cume data, a 50% unification was used with a 6 minute qualifier for persons aged 2+. For PBS Kids analysis (pages 44-49), television time period data are based on 7AM to 6PM, Monday-Friday viewing. For population and technology trends (pages 50-51), data are taken from the Nielsen Company Universe Estimate Report (March 2016). For tuning to OTT devices (page 50), data are from the Nielsen Company NPower Live +7 M-Su 8PM-11PM, viewing source = Internet Connected Devices. PBS s audience ratings were relatively consistent year-over-year. While household levels dipped a minor 2%, the majority of top television networks experienced larger declines. The exceptions were NBC, which benefitted from the 2016 Summer Olympics, and the cable news networks which received boosts from presidential election coverage. PBS s rank dropped to sixth, trailing the four major broadcasters and now Fox News, whose ratings increased by 20% to barely overtake PBS. PBS experienced a 15% growth in digital streams. Streams trended very similarly to the television audience each week-- with corresponding peaks and valleys across the season--albeit with a slight lag. Sundays continued to be the highest-rated night of the week this year, bolstered by the final, record-breaking season of Downton Abbey and the first season of the PBS-commissioned historical drama, Mercy Street. Mondays were the second most-viewed night, but experienced slight declines. Friday nights had the greatest gains fueled by several strong performances of musically-themed American Masters episodes and The Great British Baking Show. The composition of the PBS audience continues to skew older, more female and more highly educated than the average viewer. Overall, PBS mirrors the general TV viewer for affluence. However those who contribute to PBS tend to be even older, have higher incomes and have had more education. Black households comprised a larger percentage of PBS s viewing in , growing from 8% to 9% of audience. With 20% of PBS s viewing coming from homes with reception to networks available only over-the-air, PBS viewers are more likely to view programs on the four major broadcast networks. On cable, procedural dramas continue to have the best performance among PBS Viewers. For Daily Time Spent Using Media (page 51), data are from the Nielsen Total Activity Report/Q Nielsen/MRI Fusion (pages 42-43) Data rely on the fused datasets from Nielsen s National People Meter Sample (PBS Heavy Viewers) and MRI s persons 18+ sample of respondents.

6 PRIMETIME HH RATINGS FOR TOP 30 NETWORKS PBS now ranked #6, political coverage helped push Fox News ahead PBS VIEWER INDEX: WHAT PBS VIEWERS WATCH TOP 30 BROADCAST SERIES HORIZONTAL BAR, ALL NETS OVER.10, DESCENDING ORDER HORIZONTAL BAR, ALL NETS OVER.10, DESCENDING ORDER TO CHANGE -25% +11% HOW TO READ The PBS Viewer Index is a calculation of the rating among PBS-viewing households for the top 30 broadcast and cable programs with at least five telecasts (with the obvious exception of one-off events like the Super Bowl and Oscars) relative to the rating among total U.S. TV households. An index above 100 means that PBS viewers are more likely to watch the program than the average TV household. The color-coding reflects the PBS Viewer Index, where dark green means PBS viewers are more likely to view and dark pink means they are less likely to view than the average U.S. TV household. The size of the bubbles in these charts reflects the size of the audience. PBS PRIMETIME RANK TREND TOP 30 CABLE SERIES AVG. PBS INDEX TO HH HOW TO USE DASHBOARD PLUS OTA AND DVR DASHBOARD PLUS OTA AND DVR ARE WE KEEPING THIS??? ARE WE KEEPING THIS??? HOW TO READ PBS s household rank among the top 30 networks dropped by one position, from #5 in to #6 for this past season. However, it has remained consistent at #5 for viewers age The PBS Viewer Index reveals whether PBS viewers are more or less likely to watch a program than the average TV viewer. The index also helps us identify areas of interest to our viewers, which can help with seeding program development and acquisition ideas. Because PBS viewers are more likely to reside in broadcast-only homes, the broadcast chart contains more titles that over-index for PBS viewers (green). In fact almost all of the top-rated broadcast programs have high PBS viewer indices, with the exception of Empire. The highest-indexing programs for PBS viewers are on CBS, with ABC s Dancing with the Stars, Castle and Modern Family being the rare exceptions to this affinity for CBS. 6 7

7 PART II PRIMETIME SERIES BY GENRE PBS provides high-quality content that is relevant, educational, distinctive and diverse, reaching large audiences. Overall, PBS reaches large audiences with viewership to Arts, Public Affairs and Independent Film programming, experience growth year-over-year. Drama and Personal History which includes Finding Your Roots both lost audience this season. Despite that, both genres continue to bring the most viewers to PBS. Drama programming has the most successful individual strands. Masterpiece reached over 42 million Americans on television and was the highest-rated and most-streamed series of the year. This past year had us saying fare thee well to Downton Abbey after its sixth and final season, and welcoming Mercy Street into the PBS Drama fold. Mercy Street posted strong television and streaming figures for its inaugural run. Americans also turned to PBS for election coverage. PBS NewsHour s extensive coverage of the Democratic National Convention reached over 15 million viewers as did its coverage for the Republican National Convention. Over a third of DNC and RNC viewers were new to PBS. PBS NewsHour also was the second-most streamed show of the season on PBS digital platforms. Shows with promotional support brought in new or non-recent viewers. A third of Downtown Abbey s season premiere audience were non-recent viewers of primetime PBS programming. Jackie Robinson and Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution not only had 29% of their audience being non-recent to PBS, but they also drove strong ratings among Black households. Among PBS s on-going series, The Great British Baking Show, Frontline and Independent Lens had the youngest audiences. Call the Midwife s audience was the most affluent, and PBS NewsHour viewers were the most highly-educated. Heavy viewers of on-going PBS series have been shown to be more likely to contribute to their local PBS stations. Viewers of POV and Washington Week lead the way in terms of the proportion of viewers who give to PBS. In general, PBS heavy viewers are largely interested in the Arts, and heavy viewers of Call the Midwife index the highest in this regard. Heavy viewers are also well-off financially with POV and American Experience having the largest percentage of their audiences with financial investments over $250K. 8 9

8 PBS PRIMETIME* SERIES RANKER: TV Masterpiece continues to be the most-watched broadcast series PBS PRIMETIME* SERIES RANKERS: DIGITAL Total streams per program, 3 year trend (000) HOW TO READ The total streams per program ranker (to the left) shows the total number of times full episodes or clips from each of the series were streamed for each of the last three seasons. The average streams per episode ranker (below) takes into account that some series comprise more episodes than others, dividing the total number of streams for each series during the seasons by the number of episodes. On a per episode basis, dramas like Masterpiece and Call the Midwife rise to the top of the list, with history titles like American Experience and Finding Your Roots close behind. On a total streams trend basis, the PBS NewsHour and Frontline are among the top ranked with both at their highest levels of online viewership. Overall, PBS digital streams grew by 15%, eclipsing 150 millions views. Average streams per episode, (000) Many of PBS s top performing returning series lost ground, season-over-season. Notable exceptions include the third season of Finding Your Roots, and better performances by longstanding news programs such as PBS NewsHour and Washington Week. signature series like Nature and NOVA continued to post strong ratings, as both featured some of their best performing one-offs and miniseries in recent seasons. * PRIMETIME SERIES WITH AT LEAST SIX EPISODES THIS SEASON, PLUS PBS NEWSHOUR.

The indices show how the heaviest viewers of each PBS series compare to all heavy TV viewers age 18+ on a variety of attributes including (on a self-reported basis) having made a contribution to PBS within the last twelve months. To be read across, starting in the upper left of the chart: Call the Midwife has an Arts Index of 2.2, meaning that heavy viewers of Great British Baking are more than twice as likely than all US heavy viewers to have attended classical music or opera performances. HOW TO USE Among other things, the selected attributes help to illustrate the qualitative differences between PBS viewers and viewers of other programming, helping to make a case, beyond the ratings, for sponsoring PBS shows. For example, if a travel-related business were interested in local sponsorship around a national series, shows like Masterpiece and Mercy Street might be good options, since their viewers index the highest for foreign travel. The largest indices for people who attend classical music or opera performances are found with American Masters and Call the Midwife, suggesting that these might be good choices for prospective sponsors in the arts sector. On the other hand, an investment company looking for viewers with high net worths could conceivably consider just about any PBS primetime series, since all over-index for viewers with investments in excess of $250K. What opportunities do you see when you study this chart? 43

25 PART III DAYTIME KIDS SEASON OVERVIEW KIDS 2-8 RATINGS: PBS AND OTHER NETWORKS PBS KIDS and most networks are down, driven by an overall decline in children s traditional TV viewing Children s media consumption patterns continue to evolve with traditional television viewing continuing to be the most popular option for viewing content. As children view more content online, over-the-top, or on mobile devices, television viewing has eroded. To keep up with the changing environment, PBS KIDS programs are available on many platforms, including OTT and mobile. During the season, the PBS KIDS team successfully launched Nature Cat and Ready Jet Go!, expanding our slate of entertaining and educational programming targeted to children aged 2-8 years old. These series fit well with the existing television lineup. However to make room in the daytime grid, several back-to-back strips of our most popular series were removed. Fewer double-strips, coupled with the declining reach of television, resulted in a 26% ratings decline from last season TO CHANGE -40% +40% Color bars indicate ranges of percent change over the previous season s Kids 2-8 average audience rating. With many viewing options on TV, PBS maintained a 5% share of the weekday audience for Kids 2-8. Altogether, PBS and kid s cable networks accounted for 39% of TV viewing. The shifting landscape was evident with OTT accounting for 7% of weekday TV time, up from 4% the prior season. Of the PBS weekday audience, nearly one-third of the children watching PBS weekdays were Hispanic, and a third received their television via an over-the-air signal. For a full breakdown of the PBS KIDS TV audience across many segments, refer to the chart on pages On digital platforms, PBS KIDS content saw slight declines in streaming from the previous year. This wasinfluenced by measurements changes (removing the contribution of auto-played content) as well as moving from 11 minute episodes to 22 minute episodes. While this has led to fewer streams, it has increased engagement

28 U.S. POPULATION TRENDS TECHNOLOGY TRENDS Data for SVOD not available for MEDIA LANDSCAPE PRIMETIME TUNING TO OTT DEVICES DAILY TIME SPENT USING MEDIA PERSONS 18+ MEDIA LANDSCAPE Nielsen measurement of tuning to OTT did not begin until March 2014 The TV population stayed unchanged at million households. The composition of these households has become slightly more diverse and increasingly composed of Adults 65+, which saw the largest gains year-over-year.
