Research survey methodology Technology Tracker The Technology Tracker is a quantitative face-to-face CAPI survey, measuring awareness, access, usage and attitudes towards fixed and mobile telecoms, internet, multi-channel TV, on-demand services, and radio/audio. The survey is conducted once a year (January-February) among UK adults, aged 16+ (c. 3,900 adults in 2019). The data are initially weighted to correct the over-representation of nations, regions and areas to produce a geographically representative sample. They are then weighted by age, gender, social class, working status, and region to match the known population profile. PSB Tracker The PSB Tracker is conducted using a mixed methodology with online and CAPI face-to-face data collection. The sample was split 50% online / 50% face-to-face. In 2019, a total of 3,130 interviews were conducted (2,188 in England; 313 in Scotland; 315 in Wales; 319 in Northern Ireland). There have been methodological changes over time. In 2014, the tracker was a telephone survey, between 2015 and 2017, it was a 75% online and 25% face-to-face approach and in 2018, the study moved to 50% online and 50% face-to-face. In 2018 and 2019, frequent occasional viewers (defined as those who say they are occasional viewers but watch PSB channels every day or most days) have also been included.
