Radio and TV, Consumption 2014

These statistics are meant to provide easy, simple access to basic facts, and answer questions on the listening and viewing habits of the population. They show, for instance, how high the viewing figures for different TV channels are, and how many minutes the population spends listening to radio or watching TV each day. The statistics have previously been published as a part of the now defunct MedieStatistikBanken, started in 2006. MedieStatistikBanken was set up by the former Danish Media Secretariat (now part of the Danish Agency for Culture) in collaboration with the media industry and Statistics Denmark. The statistics were taken over to the Denmark Statistics-owned StatBank Denmark in 2012.

Statistical presentation

The Radio and TV Statistics "Consumption" shows the use of radio and TV by the population, e.g. viewing and broadcast times for radio and TV stations. Continuous profiling of consumer habits is provided by data from Gallup's TV Meter and Radio Index, the official, industry-recognized surveys of population listening and viewing habits.
