INTERVIEWS Our clients and partners report on their successes, projects and relationship with Eurodata TV Worldwide. BARC INDIA - PARTHO DASGUPTA - CEO - India To what extent is television viewing popular in India? India has the largest TV viewership measurement panel in the world with close to 100,000 individuals. BARC India runs a panel of 20,000 households and plans to reach 50,000 households by the end of 2019. With a universe of 780 million TV watching individuals, 26.7 billion weekly impressions and an average time spent of 3 hours and 24 minutes, television viewership in India is huge, and still growing. This also reflects in advertiser affinity for the medium, which still accounts for 45% of the total advertising spend in the country. Within this huge market, Dramas with 53% viewership share, Movies with 17% share and News with 11% are the 3 most preferred programme genres. More specifically, how does International Content perform in India? International TV Content (which falls largely under our genres of English Entertainment and English Movies ) has a loyal and growing viewership in India which derives directly from the huge base of English speaking population in India. We have seen a spike in both English Movies and English Entertainment genre viewership which grew by 42% and 23% respectively over the previous year. An interesting insight is that English language content is consumed outside of big cities as well: with as much as 60% viewership for English Entertainment coming from Tier II and Tier III markets. English Fiction shows are well received by Indian audiences. Shows like Suits, Supergirl, Quantico have done very well on Indian television with channels seeing huge spikes in viewership when these shows were aired. How large is the sports offer on Indian TV channels? When it comes to sports, while Cricket remains the most popular on Indian television, premium sports events like the Barclays Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Tennis Grand Slams, WWE and Rio Olympics have also proved to be a hit with Indian viewers. The popularity of these sports properties can be gauged from the fact that there are currently 22 sports channels (10 of which are in HD) catering to dedicated viewers of these sports events. A global sporting event like Rio Olympics was watched by 203.8 million unique viewers in India. You recently released your Broadcast India 2016 survey. Could you please tell us what the main highlights are? BARC India s Broadcast India (BI) Survey is the largest ever Research Study undertaken to ascertain TV universe & Television Viewing Habits in India, as well as mapping consumer profiles and behaviour. With this, we have updated and aligned our TV Universe in line with current demographics, TV ownership, language preferences, changes in socio-economic profile etc. According to the study, TV owning households in the country have gone up from 154 million in 2015 to 183 million. The current TV viewing universe stands at 780 million individuals, a 16% jump from 2015. 64% of households in India own a TV, which shows a huge headroom for growth for the sector. While earlier Urban and Rural India had an almost
equal split of TV homes, Rural India now has 17% more TV homes than Urban India, a relevant fact for Broadcasters and Advertisers. Our study also highlights growing importance of the middle class in India: TV households in mid-two socio-economic categories have shown highest growth, thereby increasing their share and importance in overall TV viewership. While percentage of top socio economic category is largely flat, the share of bottom categories has actually dropped from 23% to 20%. The combined share of the two mid socio economic categories have risen from 55% to 59% of the total TV universe. We also observe a growing fragmentation of family sizes, leading to rise in share of nuclear families, and drop in average family sizes. This trend is in line with rising economic growth and prosperity. India has more nuclear families than ever before, and this is also the dominant family group among TV owning homes. While composition of joint families in the universe has come down from 26% to 22%, nuclear families without elders has grown from 53% to 58%. Migration between states, improvement in electricity supply and infrastructure and rise in overall consumption in rural India have contributed to these trends.
WHAT'S NEW? Entertainment: fewer successes but more original shows This last semester has seen only a few new successful Entertainment shows in the 11 studied countries* of our report, which were only original ideas, as only 6 countries have new shows among their top 15 in prime-time. Even if there is less than usual, there are still few resisting old shows which are gathering crowds. New successes: between adaptation and original ideas Within the 11 studied countries, Italy had the highest number of new shows in its top 15. Indeed, 5 new launches featured in the ranking, including 2 adaptations of competition shows: Grande Fratello VIP (Celebrity Big Brother) which is a spin-off of the Dutch classic, and Little Big Show (Little Big Shots), a kids talent show that came to Italy only 9 months after its American launch. Other standouts were local variety shows celebrating the life of Italian music icons: Viva Mogul Con I Grandi Della Musica and Nemicamatissima? Another country with strong new formats is Israel. Four new original formats are ranked. The most successful was the survival contest set in the Amazon Welcome to The Wild (ranking at the 7th place), which has already been renewed for a second season which will take place in the Himalayas. Other new ranked programmes are quiz shows Locked and The Best of All as well as the celebrity chat show The Comedians. Powerful events to gather crowds Four national rankings are led by strong national or international events, such as the pageant Election de Miss France (most watched entertainment programme in France) or OT: El Reencuentro en Concierto (#1 in the Spain ranking), a one-time-only concert performed by former contestants of the iconic talent show Operación Triunfo. Both Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Summer Olympics have been real successes in the USA. The Opening Ceremony gathered 27.6 million viewers, clearly above any other entertainment shows broadcast over the semester in the country. Japan: an Asiatic land of entertainment Not studied last year, Japan s ranking was exclusively made of original shows. The best performing entertainment programme in the second semester of 2016 was The 67th NHK Koharu Singing Fight. This recurring talent show aired every year on New Year s Eve sees a white team and a red team battle for victory. The programme gathered a 52.9% market share. Its performance is all the more impressive as it gathered nearly twice as many viewers as the next one: Going to the End of the Earth Q (11,155,000 viewers against 6,733,000), an adventure show all around the world. However, the two shows record quite similar ratings in the commercial target, attesting to the success of Going to the End of the Earth Q among the younger audience. The 2017 edition of the Entertainment Report, analyzing the trends and hits of the genre in 11 leading countries* in 2016, will be released in April. *Studied countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Spain,

The domino effect of 4-screen Audience Measurement 2016 has seen a great step made in the world of TV audience measurement with the release of the very first 4-screen audience measurement. Multi-device TV viewing has become the real challenge and each country is evolving its audience measurement step by step in a domino effect. For a decade now, we have seen TV viewing evolve. The first challenging evolution has been its massive delinearisation, that is time-shifted viewing in all its forms (TV programme recording, catch-up platforms). Following this evolution, time-shifted viewing has been measured and then included in the TV audience currencies in an increasing number of countries (more than thirty countries measured it in 2016). In 2015, time-shifted viewing brought an average additional audience of 7% to the global TV programming in 26 countries; this additional audience depending of course significantly of the specificities (both cultural and technological) of each local market as well as of the type of programme viewed. But, although the audience measurement technology used in some countries (portable people meter, use of audiomatching ) allowed them to catch part of the viewing outside of the TV set, both the methodology and the results have only encompassed viewing on the TV screen. In addition to its delinearisation, the multi-device TV viewing has become the real challenge of TV measurement these last few years. To catch this volatile and fragmented audience, traditional TV results that are extrapolated from a panel need to be completed by viewing platforms site centric data. All this needs to be done with a consistent and unified methodology to give the TV market the comparable data and third-party validation that it requires. Indeed, video platform often communicate on big aggregated viewing figures that often roughly add up viewers of different episodes of a given show while TV viewing currency is mainly about average number of viewers, which lead to dubious comparisons in both press releases and comments. That explains why TV audience measurement institutes are challenged with the release of 4-screen ratings that will provide comparable figures which will allow to strictly take into account the additional audience of other screens, understand better how a programme is watched (to adapt its content, its broadcasting format ) and measure the stakes of other-screen monetisation. 2016 has seen the release of 4-screen audience measurement in the Netherlands and in France with figures available for the whole market to buy. But several other countries have an analogous measurement being released in 2017, such as Japan, Denmark, the United States, Sweden and hopefully many others. While the more established audience measurement keeps evolving, we also see more and more TV audience measurement being released in countries where there was not previously. This year s edition of the One TV Year report will for instance for the first time
welcome TV measurement figures from Bangladesh, Myanmar, Singapore and Sri Lanka. This reminds us that the TV market is not only evolving but is still expanding, which constantly brings new opportunities to develop worldwide TV content consumption.

NEW ON THE AIR LA PORTA ROSSA The series first episode was a huge success: it boosted Rai 2 s channel share on total individuals by 80%. Created by thriller novelist and popular presenter of inquiry shows, Carlo Lucarelli, this highly anticipated series is a bold attempt by Rai to experiment with supernatural thrillers, an uncommon theme for the Italian public audience. Italy Rai 2 / Series The series follows the investigation of a detective on a case: his own death, thanks to the help of a medium who can help him come back to life in the shape of a ghost.

He has since then renounced his old beliefs that the afterlife was only nonsense from American TV.
