There are poeple dotted around the country who take part in an ongoing survey of what they watch. These figures are then factored up to the UK's population.
Don't worry, MI6 don't have little devices implanted in all TV's so they can monitor whether you are watching the good old BBC or Al Jazera channel ...... at least, I don't think they do 8-[ :lol:

Like you mate once tinternet came along out went the telly
couple of years ago worked out how much digial will cost with telly in each bedroom, but now hardly on, so i'am not going to bother, might even get rid of the main one.
It went couple of months ago, years ago it would have been replaced very quick, now just a empty space for a few weeks

Perhaps by the number of people suffering depression the following day. Every time I watch that dross it's just another 30 minutes of my life I won't get back.
I think the ratings have something to do with data extrapolated from a sample group of a couple of thousand people.
It's not always accurate, when they first started monitoring what people watched they found that the families who had the monitoring equipt. watched the sort of programs they wanted to be seen watching rather than what they really enjoyed.

well ...
I've been asked if I want one of their little boxes as apparently I'm in the demographic of people they want to sample...
still not sure if I'm going to say yes :)
