It examines the local, regional and nations media landscape in selected locations around the UK through a series of case studies conducted in spring 2009. We place these case studies within a wider context by the inclusion of maps and table showing the availability of different local media across the UK. 1.2 Given the heterogeneity and complexity of the local and regional media landscape across the UK it is not possible to carry out a detailed analysis of the local and regional media landscape in all locations throughout the UK. We have therefore based our approach around case studies in eight locations to present an indicative view as to the local media landscape in different parts of the UK. The locations were selected to provide a range of population sizes and included a location in each of the nations.

Research survey methodologies Technology Tracker The technology tracker is a face-to-face survey run once a year to c. 3750 adults. It provides Ofcom with continuous understanding of consumer behaviour in the UK communications markets, helping us to monitor change and assess the degree and success of competition. The data collected is weighted to the profile of UK adults, so the data are representative of adults aged 16+. There are also nations splits, with samples of c. 500 for each of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. PSB Tracker The PSB Tracker is conducted using a mixed methodology with online and CAPI face-to-face data collection. The sample was split 75% online / 25% face-to-face, with proportional quotas applied to each method. A total of 3,147 interviews were conducted (1,988 in England; 511 in Scotland; 406 in Wales; 242 in Northern Ireland). Sample sizes for the devolved nations are higher than required to be UK representative, in order to allow robust reporting at nation level. Fieldwork for the 2017 PSB Tracker was undertaken in two waves: June and July 2017 and October and November 2017. It provides Ofcom with continuous understanding of UK adults’ overall satisfaction with PSB channels, and their opinions on the importance and delivery of a range of purposes and characteristics. The data collected is initially weighted to the profile of the UK adults, so the data are representative of adults aged 16+.
