TV ratings measurement celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.
According to ATO-Nielsen Admosphere’s TV viewership data, Czech TV viewership grew significantly between 2020 and 2021. The events surrounding the pandemic and the anti-virus measures themselves have led to an increased interest in news and children’s programmes in particular. At the same time, viewers have started to make more use of the possibility of rewatching programmes and other new technologies.
In ScreenVoice magazine, we look back at how measurement practices have changed over the past decades and what the near future holds in this regard. And in the selection of inspiring articles in the “Read about the topic” section, you will find those that relate to measurement on the Czech market and trends in this area from around the world.
