LOL that Mel B/Guy moment was randomly hilarious.
TasTVcameraman, channel 7 would get even more viewers and TEN would fall even lower.
Not much of a change really
The sooner they have more boxes out there for us over 55 age group, maybe a different picture will emerge. Radio falls into the same trap, especially here in Tasmania. We have a large proportion of people over 65
I smiled when I saw the comments about the baby boomer demo group. TV seems to be the last facet of life that still overlooks the BB generation… not a smart move. Boomers are cashed up, internet savvy, literate, mobile and don’t mind picking an argument with anyone.
Ignore them at your peril.
ok, kewl that makes sense. so they (under 16, over 55)are ignored for the demos- I wonder why seeing they do exost, lol, but arecounted for total people- a tad misleading IMO… 😉 oh well- more tweaking/manipulating of figures to get the result each Channel wants, lol….
As part of the baby boomer generation who is 55+ it would seem to me time for our group to actually be considered a demo group. We will soon be one of the largest, with massive spending power, which advertisers will love, and, I suspect, will further lift the ABC!
@scruffnkelsmum
Thats simple. A gigantic chunk of the population are younger than 16 and older than 54. The ABS reported that in 2011 that 13.7% of the population is 65+. So add in people who are 55-64 and 0-15 and you get a gigantic number of people who are not in the advertising demographics.
@scruffnkelsmum there is such a demo as 55+ I know advertisers don’t think they exist but there are lots of them and they watch tv too.
A picture of Mel B hiding from the paparazzi…
call me naive, but I do not understand how 9 can win all demos, but 7 wins totals?? if 9 wins across all the age groups, how can 7 have a higher % across same market?????
Would Big Brother be the result of Channel 9 winning the demos? Also, does that give them any gain when it comes to advertisers?
I love that picture!
