Moving TV to the convergent media market:Three Levels to Success

• „Semantic“ convergence• Time sensitive availability of text, audio and video• Seamless, content driven navigation• Convergent search

• Convergence will vanish the „academic“ distinction betweentelevison, radio, daily newspaper and internet.

• Convergence will influence the relation between and the functionof mass media, social media and communication.

• Convergence of media is only a part of a global change throughnetworking and the digitalisition of society.

• Digital life and work is already used to organize day-to-day livesconveniently. media usage is a part of this process.

• If only the exposure to TV broadcasted content is relevant, actualmeasurement techniques will work, but in a convergent mediamarket expsosure to TV content gives probably not enoughinsights.

• If we want to understand convergent media usage we have to usenew techniques• NGN

„Follow a single point of control strategy“Network packet analyzer may be such a control point.Privacy issues and the interpretation of measured data arecritical

• Hybrid TVInternet activity and TV usage have to be measured seperately

Consequences for Television Audience Measurement (1)

• The „slices of measurement“ have to be redefined• If TV and internet is convergent (esp. If you have contextual

convergence), you have to measure it together• It‘s much better to seperate the measurement of media usage

„at home“, „mobile/OOH“ and „at work“ etc.

• A „usage context driven“ measurement approach gives moreinsights than a „media driven“ approach. Fusions of these slices areeasier with this approach.
