Re: Television ratings thread
 

rg,
this is interesting(?), but how can other posters contribute? What is the point of this thread, besides informational?

Re: Television ratings thread
 

well, if there is a programme you want the figures for , i'd be happy to post them

Re: Television ratings thread
 

but why would we want to know the ratings?

im interested as to why youre so interested in the ratings though. is it a professional thing?

Re: Television ratings thread
 

or people could just look
here for terrestrial TV http://www.barb.co.uk/viewingsummary...esttimeout=500

or

here for satellite tv http://www.barb.co.uk/viewingsummary...esttimeout=500

The point I was trying to make was, whilst thanking you for your efforts to inform the other CF members, how could they join in the discussion (besides asking you for the figures for specific programmes)?

eh, but barb takes a week for the figures to come out, blimey,im sorry for being such a pain

Re: Television ratings thread
 

You're not - if I gave that impression, sorry <my bad>.

It's just that the threads are usually interactive, with posters adding their own thoughts (often not related to thread heading), and I didn't see how this could happen with this thread - but, as usual, if I'm not sure, I ask :) .

Again, if I offended you, soz!

Re: Television ratings thread
 

How do they know who was watching what?

I've never been asked, has anyone else? :confused:

Re: Television ratings thread
 

I thought it was more like two weeks. What's your source for 'overnights' - are you a subscriber to BARB?

Re: Television ratings thread
 

Since you asked -
http://www.barb.co.uk/about.cfm?flag=about
The Broadcasters' Audience Research Board (BARB) is responsible for providing estimates of the number of people watching television. This includes which channels and programmes are being watched, at what time, and the type of people who are watching at any one time. BARB provides television audience data on a minute-by-minute basis for channels received within the UK. The data is available for reporting nationally and at ITV and BBC regional level and covers all analogue and digital platforms.

Viewing estimates are obtained from panels of television owning households representing the viewing behaviour of the 24+ million households within the UK. The panels are selected to be representative of each ITV and BBC region. The service covers viewing within private households only.

Panel homes are selected via a 'multi-stage, stratified and unclustered' sample design. What this means is that the panel is fully representative of all television households across the whole of the UK. A range of individual and household characteristics (panel controls) are needed to ensure that the panel is fully representative. As estimates for the large majority of panel controls are not available from Census data it is necessary to conduct an Establishment Survey to obtain this information.

The BARB Establishment Survey is carried out on a continuous basis and involves some 52,000 interviews per year. It is a random probability survey which means that any household within the UK has an equal likelihood of being selected for interview. The survey ensures that any changes taking place in the population can be identified so that the panel can be updated and adjusted to ensure that the panel continues to reflect the television-owning population. In addition to being the prime source of television population information, such as the number of multi-channel homes, the Establishment Survey also generates the potential recruits from which panel member homes are selected.

Once a panel member agrees to join the panel, their home will then have all their television sets, video cassette recorders etc. electronically monitored by a meter. This is a small black box about the size of the average hardback book, which is put on top of the television set and connected to it. This automatically identifies and collects information about the programme and channel that the panel member is viewing.

All panel household residents and their guests register their presence when in a room with a television set on. Each individual does this by pressing the button allocated to them on the peoplemeter handset. The metering system monitors all registrations made by each individual.

The panel member does not need to do anything else for BARB to capture all the viewing in each household everyday. Throughout the day the meter system stores all viewing undertaken by the entire household. Each night between 2am and 6am the data processing centre automatically downloads the data from every panel home (a process known as 'polling'). This procedure is carried out on every panel home every day to produce live 'overnight' minute-by-minute television viewing data.

Video playback is measured if it takes place within 7 days of the original broadcast. This viewing (known as timeshift viewing) is then added to the live data to produce the final, minute-by-minute consolidated audience, available 8 days after the original transmission date.

Channels reported by BARB provide detailed timings of the programmes and commercials they broadcast. The records that this produces are then matched to the minute-by-minute viewing data to produce the BARB official audience estimates for programmes and commercials.

Three specialist research companies are contracted to provide BARB with the service: RSMB (responsible for panel design and quality control); Ipsos-RSL (responsible for the Establishment Survey); and AGB Nielsen Media Research (responsible for metering the panel, data collection and processing).

Hope this helps

It's all those fit male & female professional dancers Jules... :drool:

It's certainly not because they wanted to admire Nick Owen's silky skills... ;)

Re: Television ratings thread
 

Hang on ... the BBC is claiming an average of 8.2 million for Robin Hood.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4801879.stm

So where are you getting your figures from? The BBC article must be using overnights as they have not had time to add timeshift viewing to that total.

Re: Television ratings thread
 

Not really, most of the TV programmes these days are rubbish. Especially soaps and reality stuff.

Re: Television ratings thread
 

In that case, are you allowed to re-publish the figures? I am not a BARB subscriber,so haven't seen the terms and conditions of subscription, but I am pretty sure they would not allow the figures to be re-published.

Re: Television ratings thread
 

yes you are, i post mine all the time on digital spy

Re: Television ratings thread
 

Blimey, you pay at least £5250 per year have this guesstimate. :Yikes:

Re: Television ratings thread
 

:Yikes::Yikes::shocked::shocked: HOW MUCH??!?!?!?! :shocked::shocked::Yikes::Yikes:

Why would anyone pay to know how many people are watching this crap??!

Re: Television ratings thread
 

Well, TV companies and advertisers would need to know how many people are watching..

Re: Television ratings thread
 

Fair point, but what does Ratings Guru do for a living I wonder? Over to you RG....

Re: Television ratings thread
 

it is none of your business what my financial staus is ;)

Re: Television ratings thread
 

No-one asked your financial status, what you do for a living got asked

Re: Television ratings thread
 

Logically, I'd say he works in marketing or an associated profession and has access to a login to the BARB site for work purposes.

Re: Television ratings thread
 

That is serious money to see some figures but each to there own


Oh and Cobby I know what you watched last night now ;) lol

Re: Television ratings thread

Re: Television ratings thread

Re: Television ratings thread
 

Strictly come dancing got the most viewers on Saturday? That's just wrong lol

Re: Television ratings thread
 

What do you think I mean?;)

Re: Television ratings thread
 

Excuse me I will have you know I am just a sad sod with way too much time on my hands, I think you will agree that is way above being "up my self" :D

Re: Television ratings thread
 

Well that's spoilt the plot for anyone who doesn't read the Tabloids... :erm:

Re: Television ratings thread
 

Awww Cobby there there it isn't true ;)

Re: Television ratings thread
 

Why would you watch it, if you don't read the tabloids?











only joking! :D

Re: Television ratings thread
 

It isn't?? You mean he's not really a reformed character after being a Conspirator in Clockwork Orange?? :Yikes:

Re: Television ratings thread
 

Now that I can't answer as I never saw the film, what I can tell you and this is an exclusive so keep it to your self.....................



He is NOT going to be playing the next James Bond as was first rumoured ;)

Re: Television ratings thread
 

The name's Bond, I say the name's Bond... :erm:

Re: Television ratings thread
 

What - he's Foghorn Leghorn???????:confused:

Re: Television ratings thread
 

Oh I so like a thread hijack...:D

Re: Television ratings thread
 

:(:( Why's Fred Elliot dying?? He's one of the best characters in that program:(

Re: Television ratings thread
 

No idea Pia, I know I will shed a tear :(

Re: Television ratings thread
 

I wouldn't go as far as 'up themselves' - more of a case of a) not surprised at the cr@p that people seem to watch, and b) who cares anyway :)

Re: Television ratings thread
 

nothing would satisfy me more than to see all of the corrie characters killed off! :D

Re: Television ratings thread
 

Nah, just the scriptwriters, cameramen, producers, directors, runners, teaboy, editors and cast - that'd do it :D

Re: Television ratings thread
 

i watched strictly dancing on saturday, and after seeing the dancer who partnered spoony, i will be watchin this next week too ;)
