THE NIELSEN TOTAL AUDIENCE SERIES

THE NIELSEN
TOTAL AUDIENCE
REPORT
Q2 2017

Copyright 2017 The Nielsen Company (US), LLC. All Rights Reserved.
On my daily commute, its become normal for me to find that the
majority of my fellow commuters are thoroughly engrossed with their
digital deviceswhether they are listening to music, watching video
content, reading or just playing games. These devices have become a
constant companion to over 200 million consumers in the U.S. and this
personalized entertainment is always at their fingertips.

Being in research, these commuters with their heads down and thumbs up
PETER KATSINGRIS, SVP lead to many questions for me. What are they watching? Is it a movie or a
AUDIENCE INSIGHTS TV episode or a short-form video clip? Is this adding to or replacing time
they may have watched at home? How many different social apps are they
using? Is music being streamed or part of their library on their phone?

In the Q2 2017 edition of the Nielsen Total Audience Report, we continue


to explore this ever-changing media landscape. After all, adults in the U.S.
are spending an additional half hour more a day compared to last year
connected to media across platformsdigital, audio and televisionwhich
are the three platforms of content distribution and discovery for the
average consumer.

In the upfront section of the report, as opposed to focusing on one central


theme, we spotlighted insights across these platforms. For television, we
focused on internet enabled TV-connected devices. These increasingly
popular devices allow consumers to stream content to their television set
in addition to traditional television programming. For audio, we looked at
different listener behaviors. A majority of AM/FM radio usage takes place
away from the home while consumers are at work or in transit during their
commute. For digital, we looked at the two largest categories for time
spent across computers, smartphones and tabletsentertainment and
search engines/social networking.

As consumer behaviors evolve, so will this report. As we move forward


with the Q3 2017 report, changes will be made to make sure you have the
most relevant information to understand the changing media landscape.

TELEVISION METHODOLOGY
Live+DVR/Time-shifted TV includes Live usage plus any playback viewing within
the measurement period. DVR/Time-shifted TV is playback primarily on a DVR but
includes playback from video on demand, DVD recorders, server based DVRs and
services like Start Over.

TV-connected devices (DVD, Game Console, Multimedia Device) would include


content being viewed on the TV screen through these devices. This would include
when these devices are in use for any purpose, not just for accessing media
content. For example, Game Console would also include when the game console is
being used to play video games.

Multimedia Devices is a combination of usage of the Internet Connected Devices


viewing source and Audio-Video viewing sources. It would include viewing on an
Apple TV, Roku, Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, Smartphone, Computer/
Laptop, etc. connected to the TV unless otherwise noted.

Reach for television and TV-connected devices includes those viewing at least one
minute within the measurement period.

Data used in this report is inclusive of multicultural audiences. Hispanic consumer


audiences are comprised of both English and Spanish speaking representative
populations.

AM/FM RADIO METHODOLOGY


Audience estimates for 48 large markets are based on a panel of people who carry
a portable device called a Personal People Meter (PPM) that passively detects
exposure to content that contains inaudible codes embedded within the program
content. Audience estimates from the balance of markets and countries in the U.S.
are based on surveys of people who record their listening in a written diary for a
week.

The estimates in this report are based on RADAR and the National Regional
Database. RADAR reports national network radio ratings covering the U.S. using
both PPM and Diary measurement and it is based on a rolling one-year average of
nearly 400,000 respondents aged 12+ per year. The Q2 2017 report is based on the
September RADAR studies.

Monthly Radio Estimates: Nielsens Measurement Science group used statistical


modeling techniques to estimate the total cume audience to radio in a four week
period, as compared to the total cume audience to radio in an average week. The
methodology utilized PPM panel data, and essentially measured how many people
who were not exposed to radio in a single week might typically be exposed to
radio over a consecutive four week period. A radio cume growth factor was then
determined and applied to radio listening on a national basis.

Listening to HD radio broadcasts, Internet streams of AM/FM radio stations and


Satellite Radio is included in the Persons Using Radio estimates in this report where
the tuning meets our reporting and crediting requirements of at least 5 minutes of
usage. Reach for AM/FM Radio includes those listening for at least 5 minutes within
the measurement period.

Data used in this report is inclusive of multicultural audiences. Hispanic consumer
audiences are comprised of both English and Spanish speaking representative
populations.

COMPUTER METHODOLOGY
Nielsen Netview and VideoCensus data is reflective of the hybrid methodology which
combines a census level accounting of page views and video streams where Nielsen
measurement tags have been deployed in order to project audience and behavior to
the full universe of all Internet users. For VideoCensus, the portion of the total video
streams calibrated by census data, previously allocated to Home/Work computers, are
allocated to other devices and locations outside of home and work. Nielsens Online
Panel is recruited in Spanish and English.

Internet on a Computer metrics are derived from Nielsen Netview. Video on a


Computer metrics are derived from Nielsen VideoCensus. As some reported brands
transition to Digital Content Ratings, they are no longer reported in VideoCensus as of
Q2 2017. Accordingly, the methodology and computation of these metrics has been
adjusted. Fusion data from Nielsen Media Impact (derived from panel and census
data) was used to create a percent change from Q1 2017 to Q2 2017 for Video on a
Computer. The percent change was then applied to the Q1 2017 VideoCensus data to
calculate Q2 2017 metrics.

MOBILE METHODOLOGY
Nielsens Electronic Mobile Measurement (EMM) is an observational, user-centric
approach that uses passive metering technology on smartphones and tablets to track
device and application usage on an opt-in convenience panel, recruited online in
English and recently in Spanish as well. There may be limited representation of non-
English language audiences as recruitment is ramped up. The smartphone sample was
around 12,500 and the tablet sample was around 3,250 during Q2 2017. This method
provides a holistic view of all activity on the device as the behavior is being tracked
without interruption.

A number of steps are taken after the data collection process to ensure the reported
data is representative of the mobile population. For smartphones, weighting controls
are applied across five characteristics (gender, age, income, race, and ethnicity) while
independent enumeration studies are carried out on a continuous basis to provide the
most current estimates of the mobile population (aka Universe Estimation).

Tablet data is unweighted and projections are applied using estimates from the
National Panel that is the industry standard for TV ratings.

App/Web refers to consuming mobile media content through a web browser or via a
mobile app. It does not include other types of activity such as making/receiving phone
calls, sending SMS/MMS messages etc, which has been excluded for this report.

Video is a subset of App/Web and refers to those individuals who visit a website or use
a mobile app specifically designed to watch video content.

Nielsen implemented a crediting enhancement to improve the reporting of mobile
usage on iOS devices in March 2016 and Android devices in August 2016. A legacy
crediting rule that limited usage at 30 minutes was removed, so now if a panelist uses
an app or visits a website for more than 30 minutes at a time the entire duration is
now credited towards the app or website. There are no minimum qualifiers; crediting
begins when the site or app is loaded in the foreground of the device.
