Audience Head-count
« on: October 23, 2020, 17:01 »
On Sunday, after Strictly Come Dancing, it was said that it had the biggest amount of viewers since it started.
Often similar quotes are made ie;  how many people listen to Zoe Ball and how many viewed various soaps etc.
I would like to know how are these figures obtained.  Is there a person with a little "clicker" counting   :D

How are these figures arrived at ?     Mrs Bouquet

As far as I know they survey small sample of people and then extrapolate the percentages to the full population.

Part of it is as P!P says, from 5,300 homes on the BARB panel (people - based)
part is from sample devices that tells BARB what is actually being watched (device -based)
BARB = Broadcasters' Audience Research Board

It's like the survey of 100 people, so many answered A,B,C or D.  Who are these people surveyed?

I often find myself wondering what dear old Mr Orwell would make of our current times, what with one thing and another...
