This is the BS I'm talking about. It's a rubbish system that should have been thrown in the bin ages ago. It's inherently inaccurate and full of holes so big it can never give an accurate reflection of viewing habits.Panels of home viewers supply the raw data that shapes what airs. The five major mainland cities are monitored by a panel of about 3000 homes. A further 2000 homes speak for regional Australia. (A third panel, with 1200 homes, tracks pay TV.).................
We have the technology now to monitor what channel everyone is watching thanks to the switch to digital TV. It's about time we got it done.
