Broadcasting services strategy – market analysis (summary of survey results)

17th November 2017

Summary of key findings

� Media consumers undertake an increasing range of activities, although both broadcast TV and broadcast radio remain the largest

media in terms of activity and time spent. The scale of such activity varies by age group, with younger age groups reducing their

consumption of broadcast media at a faster rate than other groups; however, even among the youngest adults, TV and radio

remain two of the most used media

� In-home use of traditional broadcast equipment (standard analogue radio, TV via an aerial, set-top boxes) remain the primary

means of receiving and consuming video and audio content; although take-up and use of connected devices continue to increase

� Irish audiences claim a wide range of tastes and preferences for video and audio content. News, talk, popular music and easy

listening are the most popular radio genres. Film, news, documentaries, drama and sport are the most popular TV genres

� Irish audiences claim broad satisfaction with the range and quality of content available on broadcast media. There is no consensus

around major gaps in provision - in broad terms, audiences believe that there is the right amount of content provision in key

genres including Irish music, Irish language and news

� There is some scope for Irish broadcasters to improve the way they reflect Irish culture and diversity, and to increase the amount

of available content that is made in Ireland; although on average, most audiences are happy with the performance of TV and radio

broadcasters

� In summary, the survey reveals an increasingly complex picture of content consumption within a landscape that is still primarily

led by broadcast media. There is overall satisfaction with the nature and range of broadcast content provision, and the output and

performance of Irish broadcasters

As part of our work for the BAI, we commissioned Kantar Media to undertake a consumer survey to interrogate individuals about their claimed behaviours and viewpoints

� We were tasked with identifying the main needs and preferences of broadcast viewers and listeners in Ireland. To this end, we

commissioned Kantar Media to undertake a consumer survey to interrogate individuals about their claimed behaviours and

viewpoints

� The survey was structured in five main areas:

– Establishment questions – TV provider, other services

– Claimed usage of media activities, including video and audio services

– Content preferences by station/channel type and genre

– Views on the quality, distinctiveness and scale of provision of broadcast services in Ireland

– …this included views on satisfaction with the amount of Irish content available on different media in Ireland

� The survey results give us insight into the underlying drivers of consumption outcomes, as well as highlighting attitudes towards

current service providers and range of content available

� This enabled us to identify potential gaps in provision, and potential concerns around the quality and distinctiveness of Irish

content. The responses are also used to inform our forecasts of future market outcomes

� This short document illustrates the key findings of the survey: most responses are expressed as a proportion of the entire sample; in practice there are material differences among age groups and other categories (e.g., TV ownership, internet penetration)

Gender Age Social class

Kantar Media constructed the survey to be representative of the Irish population, weighted by age, gender and TV service market share

� The survey was undertaken in October 2017 using a combination of online and telephone interviews to a total sample of 1,515

adults living in the Republic of Ireland

� Claimed responses often vary from industry data, due to differences in definition (e.g., access to services, regularity of usage,

“ever” used) and over/under-reporting (particularly of habitual media). As a result, some claimed activity rates in the survey such

as Netflix usage will be higher than some industry figures

Traditional analogue transmission is the most heavily used basis for listening to broadcast radio – largely at home or in the car. This increasingly takes place alongside a range of other devices, however

Which of these devices do you use to listen to the radio? Where do you tend to be when you listen to the radio?
