The Impact of DVRs on TelevisionAlthough television is still the primary form of entertainment in most households, and the largest advertising medium, viewing habits are changing. Consumers can now watch programs when, where, and how they want… and that does not include commercials. Plus, the audience has been fractured by the large number of programs available from which to choose.
TextbookPages 363 - 365
DVRs also make it easier for content providers to push programming directly to end users, on a pay-per-view, commercial-free basis. This is essentially TV on demand, which makes it more difficult to measure viewing audiences, more difficult to develop media plans for television, and more difficult to capture and retain the attention of consumers.
Viewing habits are also being impacted by other technologies, such as video game consoles and online video streams (YouTube, Hulu).
However, the average household still watches more than 7 hours of television per day.

Television AdvantagesTelevision is unique in its ability to combine visual images, sound, motion, and color. These characteristics provide the advertiser with an opportunity to develop the most creative and imaginative advertising appeals of any medium.
• Creativity and Impact: The interaction of sight and sound offers tremendous creative flexibility and opportunities for the advertising message
• Coverage and Cost Effectiveness: TV can reach large audiences cost effectively• Captivity and Attention: Commercials impose themselves on viewers as they watch
their favorite programs and are likely to be seen unless some effort is made to avoid them
• Selectivity and Flexibility: Audiences vary by program content, broadcast time, and geographic coverage; cable television offers additional selectivity

Selectivity and FlexibilityAdvertisers are trying to turn TV advertising into a selective media. Some selectivity is possible due to variations in the composition of an audience as a result of:
• Program content• Broadcast time• Geographic coverage
TextbookPages 367
For example, Saturday morning programs cater to children and Saturday and Sunday programs target the sports-oriented male.
The Oxygen cable network, as shown in this ad, is trying to capture young, upscale women who like to try new products, as well as recommend them to others.

Cable TelevisionCable television has now reached 91% of the nation’s 114.9 million households. Cable networks and programs have a dual revenue stream… monthly subscription charges and ad revenue.
Cable TV broadens programming options available to the viewer as well as the advertiser by offering specialty channels, including all-news, music, weather, and educational channels.
Many cable systems also carry superstations… independent local stations that send their signals nationally via satellite. Programming on superstations generally consists of sports, movies, and reruns of network shows.
Expanded viewing options via cable have led to audience fragmentation, which can help advertisers better target their audience.

National Audience InformationNielsen Media Research has a national RV ratings service known as the Nielsen Television Index, which provides daily and weekly estimates of the size and composition of the national viewing audience.
TextbookPages 387
Nielsen uses a national sample of 10,000 homes, which are carefully selected be representative of the population of U.S. households. Ratings are based on the viewing patterns of the homes, which are measured using the people meter shown on this slide.
Data collected by the people meter includes when the set is turned on, which channel is viewed, when the channel is changed, when the set is off, and who is viewing. The demographic characteristics of the viewers are also in the system, and viewership can be matched to these traits.
