In addition to autonomous decline, panel update NMO Kijkonderzoek (TAM) also leads to a decline in linear viewing time

For the past six months, the updated NMO Kijkonderzoek (The Dutch TAM) has been providing the common currency for the television market. The NMO Kijkonderzoek, like other sources, shows an autonomous declining trend in linear viewing time. The decline appears to be larger in certain target groups than in the overall 6+ group, especially among the 35 to 49-year-olds and the 20 to 49-year-olds. This becomes especially visible after the planned panel update that was carried out just before the launch of the new audience measurement.

Cross-media monitoring and reporting content and commercials

The organizations for audience measurement in the Netherlands published a Request for Proposal for media monitoring as part of the new National Media Onderzoek (NMO). Earlier the contracts for the audience measurement parts of this project have been awarded to Kantar and Ipsos. In this RfP we welcome new ideas for the registration, classification and harmonization of content and commercials within NMO. Both for individual media as well as cross media. This should give insight into all media content the public can be exposed to. Research agencies and other companies with experience in this field are asked to come up with proposals. The aim is to reach a decision at the end of 2021.

The RfP should lead to a new, joint standard for monitoring and reporting content and commercials within TV, radio and online.
