WHAT PEOPLEMETERS SAY

This method started to be applied in 1997. Since that time, it has been subject to a number of changes and it ranks among the most advanced methods across the globe today. Research for the Association of Television Organisations (ATO), the client and project owner, is carried out by Nielsen Admosphere. What do the measurement data tell us? We know from the peoplemeter project data, for example, that TV is the strongest medium. On average, we dedicate more daily time to watching TV than to listening to the radio, reading the print media or browsing the Internet.
