audience engagement on tv
TRANSCRIPT
Objective of research
The primary objective of the study was to understand the level of viewer engagement to Canada’s specialty channels
Understand the receptivity to and perceived appropriateness of advertising targeted at women on different kinds of channels i.e. lifestyle, sports, kids etc.
To create an additional filter to further analyse and assess audience data
Methodology
Specialty stations included were selected on top 30 Fall ’09 AMA rankers (Aug31-Oct 25/09) including 10 Canwest specialties
Sample consisted of 3,000 18-54’s in English-Canada, representative by region, age and gender
Every channel was rated on the same attributes within the survey
Survey was conducted by SRG in November 2009
The study was modeled upon the well respected Simmons syndicated Multi-Media Engagement Study in the US and looked at the audience engagement of the top 30 specialty channels in Canada.
