Radio and TV Statistics, Equipment Statistics, Appliances and Distribution (Discontinued)

As the media industry undergoes rapid development, changes can sometimes occur which affect comparability over time. More modern media appliances are included in the statistics, whilst others are withdrawn. Rapid developments can also take place in internet media, e.g. speeds and connection types.

Comparability - geographical

There has been no comparison of these statistics with similar international surveys.

Comparability over time

As the media industry undergoes rapid development, changes can sometimes occur which affect comparability over time. More modern media appliances are included in the statistics, whilst others are withdrawn. Rapid developments can also take place in internet media, e.g. speeds and connection types. A major development in the usual number of channels individual consumers can access on their TV has also given rise to changing groupings, which gives a data blip. This is clearly indicated in the relevant tables. New forms of data collection can also give problems with comparability over time.

Coherence - cross domain

The figures from Radio and TV Statistics Appliances and Distribution are identical with the figures published which serve as sources for Statistic Denmark's figures.

Coherence - internal
