Services and products

TV Audience Solutions (TVAS) offers products that TV networks and TV production companies may use to understand and increase viewer ratings.

The services and products of TVAS answer the following questions:

- which reasons influence the amount of people watching a TV show at a certain time?
- how many TV shows of which kind should a TV network broadcast at what time?
- what are the consequences for the amount of viewers if program content is changed?

To answer the questions above TVAS has developed the following methods:

Audience Explanation Method
With the help of so-called 'regression' methods viewer ratings and market shares are declared based on the following factors:
- Kind and topic of a TV show
- What competitors broadcast at the same time
- And many more (including variables that can be chosen by the network or production company itself)

Viewers Elasticity Method
Given a share of a TV show category in your broadcasting schedule and given that share in the total market's tv schedule, how strong will viewer ratings alter if more/less programmes of the category are broadcasted by you and/or others? (The question here is: when are people fed up when for instance more and more comedy shows are broadcasted; this is also appliable on TV hosts, etc.)

In the future TVAS will apply the following methods:

Market Share Maximizing Method
Based on the budget of a TV network, it can be analysed which programming schedule (accompanied with the costs per TV show) will attain the highest market share under the condition that the budget should not be transcended.

Commercial-pricing method
Based on the expected viewer ratings (by using the above-mentioned Audience Explanation Method) it is calculated what the best price is for a commercial.

Digital Viewer model
Based on e.g. consumers' behaviour and program content the expected ratings of digital TV shows will be calculated.
