Since our launch in 1981, there has been proliferation of platforms, channels and catch-up services. In recent years, more people have started to watch television and video content distributed through the internet. Project Dovetail is at the heart of our development strategy. Its premise is that BARB’s services need to harness the strengths of two complementary data sources. - BARB’s panel of 5,100 homes provides representative viewing information that delivers programme reach, demographic viewing profiles and measurement of viewers per screen. - Device-based data from web servers provides granular evidence of how online TV is being watched. The TV Player Report is the first stage of Project Dovetail. It is a beta report that is based on the first outputs from BARB working with UK television broadcasters to generate data about all content delivered through the internet. This on-going development delivers a census-level dataset that details how different devices are being used to view online TV. Stage 2 of Project Dovetail will integrate this dataset with the outputs that our customers are used to receiving from BARB. We are in the final stages of tendering the contract for this stage. More news will follow on how we will deliver this. Click here to watch a short video that brings Project Dovetail to life. Alternatively, contact [email protected] with any questions.
