SHIFTS IN

THE CROSS-PLATFORM REPORT
SEPTEMBER 2014
With much talk of an evolving media landscape, the acceleration
in device adoption and delivery platforms and shifts in viewing patterns,
we sometimes forget to let the numbers speak for themselves.
Today we are challenged with an important transition in how media
is consumed. We know that traditional television viewing on a TV screen
is down, especially for younger viewers, but we also know that overall
media consumption is up and growing, driven by an impressive growth in
digital video viewing. With this in mind, we should be looking at the
consumer’s relationship to media in a different way. Letting the numbers
speak for themselves we see that viewers of all ages, ethnicities and races
are opting to shift some of their viewing.
THIS CONTINUING SHIFT SHOULD
BE EMBRACED AS AN OPPORTUNITY.
IT’S NOT ABOUT WINNERS AND LOSERS,
IT’S ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO
ITERATE AND REDEFINE THE RULES
OF THE GAME.
Driven by younger viewers initially but embraced by older viewers
increasingly, consumers are device and platform agnostic looking for quality,
professionally produced long form programs to connect with at home
or on the go.
Today, content is delivered and consumed through competing delivery
platforms, networks and screens. Never before have we seen this
level of fragmentation and yet, the sum total of media consumed is
growing. In fact, year over year among the younger 18-34
demo media consumption has grown four percent overall, two
percent among Hispanics, eight percent among Blacks, and ten percent
among Asians.

This change is primarily driven by the growth in digital both on computers
and mobile devices, led by an outstanding growth in digital video viewing
on these devices. We are seeing year over year overall growth in digital use
of sixteen percent among persons 18-34 with fifty-three percent growth
in digital video viewing. Yet, it’s not just a young versus “older” story. This
impressive growth in digital is even more marked among 35-49 year olds
and among 50-64 year olds.
Technology has enabled increased choice and consumers have become
accustomed to controlling the wide array of content at their fingertips.
At the core of it all is the consumer experience in interacting and accessing
that content. Some people will want their content live on their TV screen
delivered via a traditional or broadband enabled connection, some will
want to watch it at a different time, while others will increasingly look for
it on the go and on demand on their mobile devices. With smartphones
topping seventy percent penetration and tablets inching toward the fifty
percent mark, the growth in digital consumption can only increase.
This represents a unique opportunity for video producers, TV networks,
studios and pure-play digital video players alike, who can leverage
the different platforms to deliver their content. We will continue to see
differences in the type and quantity of media consumed by different
age groups as well as by race and ethnicity on different platforms. Yet,
the overarching data suggests that the growth of media consumption
is and will continue to be in digital for all consumers. We can surmise
that having tasted the freedom of choice the American consumer will not
go back to old ways.

METHODOLOGIES
GLOSSARY
TV HOUSEHOLD: Nielsen defines a TV household as a home with at least one operable TV/monitor with the ability to deliver video via traditional means of antennae, cable STB or Satellite receiver and /or with a broadband connection.
TRADITIONAL TV: Watching live or time-shifted content on a television set. WIRED CABLE: Traditional cable delivered through wires to your home.
TELCO: A paid TV subscription delivered fiber-optically via a traditional telephony provider. SATELLITE: A paid TV subscription where the signal is distributed to an orbiting satellite. The amplified signal is then re-transmitted to the home and received via a dish. (Sometimes also referred to as “dish”).
BROADBAND ACCESS: A paid, high-speed Internet access delivered via DSL, Cable Internet through cable provider, Fiber-Optic Service, U-Verse, Satellite Internet, Data Card (aircard that connects to a cellular phone network) or PC tethered to cell phone (cellular phone network).
NARROWBAND ACCESS: A household that accesses the Internet via a telephone line (often referred to as dial up).
BROADCAST ONLY: A mode of television content delivery that does not involve satellite transmission or cables (ie—a paid service). Also commonly referred to as “Over-the-air.”
BROADBAND ONLY: A household with at least one operable TV/monitor that receives video exclusively through a broadband internet connection instead of traditional means (over the air, wired cable, telco, satellite).
AM/FM RADIO: Listening to programming from AM/FM radio stations or network programming.
MULTIMEDIA DEVICE: Viewing on an Apple TV, Boxee, Roku, Google Chromecast, or other internet connected device through the television. This does not include DVD / Blu-Ray Devices, Game Consoles, or Computers.
ENABLE SMART TV: A household with at least one television set that is capable and enabled to access the internet.
TELEVISION METHODOLOGY
On Traditional TV includes Live usage plus any playback viewing within the measurement period. Time-shifted TV is playback primarily on a DVR but includes playback from VOD, DVD recorders, server based DVR’s and services like Start Over.
On Traditional TV reach includes those viewing at least one minute within the
measurement period. This includes Live viewing plus any playback within the measurement period. Second Quarter 2014 Television data is based on the following measurement interval: 03/31/14-06/29/14. As of February 2011, DVR Playback has been incorporated into the Persons Using Television (PUT) Statistic.
Metrics for Using a DVD/Blu-Ray Device and Using a Game Console are based on when these devices are in use for any purpose, not just for accessing media content. For example, Using a Game Console will also include time when the game console is being used to play video games.
ONLINE METHODOLOGY
In July 2011 an improved hybrid methodology was introduced in Nielsen’s NetView and VideoCensus product. This methodology combines a census level accounting of page views and video streams where Nielsen measurement tags have been deployed in order to project audience and behavior to the full universe of all Internet users. For VideoCensus, the portion of the total video streams calibrated by census data, previously allocated to Home/ Work computers, are now allocated to other devices and locations such as smartphones and viewing outside of home and work. This change affects both “Watching Video on the Internet” and “Using the Internet” figures. Beginning in Q1 2012, Cross-Platform metrics are derived from the new hybrid panel. Year over year trends are available beginning in Q3 2012. Data should not be trended to previous quarters’ published editions.
Hours:minutes for Internet and video use are based on the universe of persons who used the Internet/watched online video. All Internet figures are weekly or monthly averages over the course of the quarter. All “Using the Internet on a Computer” metrics are derived from Nielsen NetView product, while all “Watching Video on the Internet” metrics are derived from Nielsen VideoCensus product. “Watching Video on the Internet” is a subset of “Using the Internet on a Computer.”
Due to the release of the Chrome browser v.19 in May 2012, some Nielsen Netview data for a small number of sites that have extensive use of HTTPS is under reported for May and June 2012. A solution has been implemented for July 2012 reporting. This affects “Using the Internet on a Computer” during this time.
YouTube Partner reporting became available through Nielsen VideoCensus featuring May 2012 data. YouTube Partner data is reported as individual channels under the YouTube brand in Nielsen VideoCensus. Data for each YouTube partner is aggregated across two entity levels, the broadest as Nielsen VideoCensus channel entity and the more granular being Nielsen VideoCensus client-defined entity. This affects the “Watching Video on Internet” during this time.
Due to a processing error, YouTube brand-level stream and duration metrics were inflated from May 2012 – May 2013 which impacted “Watching Video on Internet”. The current report contains the corrected metrics for the prior year data in the year over year comparisons. However, because of an additional processing issue that occurred in Q2 2012 (above note), the Q2 2012 data could not be restated and is based on the originally released data points.
As of January 2014, two factors led to an increase in “Watching Video on the Internet”. Secure or “https” streaming of videos was added into reporting for entities such as Facebook. Additionally, YouTube mobile streams became included within the hybrid reporting.

Copyright © 2014 The Nielsen Company THE CROSS-PLATFORM REPORT | Q2 2014RADIO METHODOLOGY
AM/FM RADIO METHODOLOGY: Audience estimates for 48 large markets are based on a panel of people who carry a portable device called PPM that passively detects exposure to content that contains inaudible codes embedded within the program content. Audience estimates from the balance of markets and counties in the US are based on surveys of people who record their listening in a written diary for a week.
The estimates in this report are based on RADAR and the National Regional Database. RADAR reports national network radio ratings covering the US using both PPM and Diary measurement and it is based on a rolling one-year average of nearly 400,000 respondents aged 12+ per year.
Monthly Radio Estimates: Nielsen’s Measurement Science group used statistical modeling techniques to estimate the total cume audience to radio in a four week period, as compared to the total cume audience to radio in an average week. The methodology utilized PPM panel data, and essentially measured how many people who were not exposed to radio in a single week might typically be exposed to radio over a consecutive four week period. A radio cume growth factor was then determined and applied to radio listening on a national basis. NOTES: Listening to HD radio broadcasts, Internet streams of AM/FM radio stations and Satellite Radio is included the Persons Using Radio estimates in this report where the tuning meets our reporting and crediting requirements.
MOBILE METHODOLOGY
Nielsen’s Electronic Mobile Measurement (EMM) is an observational, user-centric approach that uses passive metering technology on smartphones to track device and application usage on an opt-in convenience panel. Results are then reported out through Nielsen Mobile NetView 3.0. There are approximately 5,000 panelists in the US across both iOS and Android smartphone devices, and this method provides a holistic view of all activity on a smartphone as the behavior is being tracked without interruption.
A number of steps are taken after the data collection process to ensure the reported data is representative of the mobile population. Weighting controls are applied across five characteristics (gender, age, income, race, and ethnicity) while independent enumeration studies are carried out on a continuous basis to provide the most current estimates of the mobile population (aka Universe Estimation). This mobile population is drawn from a combination of Mobile Insights, as well as surveying the National People Meter (NPM) panel that is the industry standard and currency for TV Ratings.
Figures reported in Nielsen’s Mobile NetView 3.0 include those individuals who are P18+ who have used an iOS or Android smartphone device in the US during Q2 of 2014. In particular:
“Using any App/Web on a Smartphone” refers to consuming mobile media content through a web browser or via a mobile app. It does not include other types of activity such as making/receiving phone calls, sending SMS/MMS messages etc, which has been excluded for this report.
“Watching Video on a Smartphone” is a subset of “Using any App/Web on a Smartphone” and refers to those individuals who visit a website or use a mobile app specifically designed to watch video content.
Due to this methodology change from survey based data to EMM as of the Qtr 4 2013 report, data should not be trended to previous quarters’ published editions. The current report contains the revised metrics for the prior year data in the year over year comparisons.
