    Media nations: UK 2019 Published 7 August 2019 Overview This is Ofcom’s second annual Media Nations report. It reviews key trends in the television and online video sectors as well as the radio and other audio sectors. Accompanying this narrative report is an interactive report which includes an extensive range of data. There are also separate reports for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The Media Nations report is a reference publication for industry, policy makers, academics and consumers. This year’s publication is particularly important as it provides evidence to inform discussions around the future of public service broadcasting, supporting the nationwide forum which Ofcom launched in July 2019: Small Screen: Big Debate. We publish this report to support our regulatory goal to research markets and to remain at the forefront of technological understanding. It addresses the requirement to undertake and make public our consumer research (as set out in Sections 14 and 15 of the Communications Act 2003). It also meets the requirements on Ofcom under Section 358 of the Communications Act 2003 to publish an annual factual and statistical report on the TV and radio sector. This year we have structured the findings into four chapters. • The total video chapter looks at trends across all types of video including traditional broadcast TV, video-on-demand services and online video. • In the second chapter, we take a deeper look at public service broadcasting and some wider aspects of broadcast TV. • The third chapter is about online video.

  • Tables 2008 Q1
    SUMMARY Average daily hours of viewing of 3.97 hours were recorded for the first quarter of 2008 – this is the highest level they have been since the first quarter of 2004. (Table 1) After a very good performance in the final quarter of 2007, BBC1’s and ITV’s shares have both fallen back to their previous levels. The non-terrestrial channels share of viewing continues to grow and now stands at 38.1%, compared to 36.4% in the first quarter of 2007. (Table 2) The growth of the non-terrestrial channels’ share of viewing can be seen progressing fairly steadily from week to week. (Table 3) Demographically, channel performances retain much the same pattern as they have held for some time now. The strong bias of the non-terrestrial audience to the young age groups remains the key feature of these tables. (Tables 4 and 5) The growth of digital terrestrial reception has slowed slightly this quarter, but still continues towards the 50% level – overall digital penetration reception now stands at 83%. (Table 6) Patronage levels for the main channels (and for television overall) are at about the same levels as they were a year ago. Patronage of the non-terrestrial channels has now established itself at over 75%. (Table 7) Table 8 shows channel shares accumulated by broadcasting company – the BBC takes the largest share with 33.3% of all viewing. Table 9 shows channel impact shares accumulated by the sales houses representing them – here ITV dominates taking a 37.8% share across all its channels.
