The latest figures released from 4OD make for very interesting reading on the nature of Video on Demand consumption. At first glance, the numbers are still low, with VoD accounting for just 2% of total Channel 4 portfolio viewership. However, once you start drilling down into specific programmes and audience groups, there are some fascinating emerging trends, chiefly that amongst younger audiences, more than half of a programmes’ viewers no longer watch it at the time of transmission. They now regard TV as On Demand. 4OD have released three case studies which demonstrate this quite clearly. Misfits In the case of "Misfits", one episode received 1.2 million viewers in the UK. But only 36% of these viewers watched the show when it was aired on E4. The remaining 64% watched the show on a number of formats, E4+1 (11%), repeats (11%), PVR recordings (18%) PC VoD (20%) and TV VoD (4%). Effectively, they watched the show at a time that suited them. Skins The case study from Series three of Skins shows another interesting side effect of the rise of "On Demand" Viewing. In this instance, if we just analysed the TV ratings, we would assume that viewership was dropping. Down from 816,000 in year 1, to 672,000 in year 2 to 665,000 in year 3.

The latest figures released from 4OD make for very interesting reading on the nature of Video on Demand consumption.
At first glance, the numbers are still low, with VoD accounting for just 2% of total Channel 4 portfolio viewership. However, once you start drilling down into specific programmes and audience groups, there are some fascinating emerging trends, chiefly that amongst younger audiences, more than half of a programmes’ viewers no longer watch it at the time of transmission. They now regard TV as On Demand.4OD have released three case studies which demonstrate this quite clearly.
MisfitsIn the case of "Misfits", one episode received 1.2 million viewers in the UK. But only 36% of these viewers watched the show when it was aired on E4. The remaining 64% watched the show on a number of formats, E4+1 (11%), repeats (11%), PVR recordings (18%) PC VoD (20%) and TV VoD (4%).Effectively, they watched the show at a time that suited them.

Google This! It seems the romantic gestures and love poems being searched for last week have been replaced by an interest in the likes of Amber Heard, co-star of new movie Drive Angry (3D) and the latest news in football and cricket (from cricinfo). This week, Google honored Brancusi for the day and we searched him too. In news, the New Zealand earthquake is our top searched story. We’ve also been searching the latest on Bahrain. The news source Independent.ie has also been ‘googled’ this week. They’ve published a number of useful supplements recently including three on Leaving Cert English and an election guide this week. In entertainment, we’ve been searching for Adele (still UK no. 1), Tom Hardy and... Britney Spears. Considering this is the first time she has appeared in our results, is there a comeback brewing? The fashion conscious amongst us will be wearing Barbour jackets, eating truffles and growing roses and hydrangeas.
Mindshare analyses the search volume within Ireland to establish patterns and trends of information people are searching for over certain time periods.

Jill Robinson, Deputy Head of Trading
What is your role in Mindshare?
I’m Deputy Head of Trading at Mindshare. We look after online and TV trading - negotiating the best deals possible for our clients and managing sponsorships which are becoming increasingly valuable to clients.
What media developments are you keeping an eye on?
The fusion of our TV and computer into one - the 42” plasma in the sitting room will become your home PC and TV. Appointment to view TV will mostly be live events, with everything else on demand.
What's your favorite recent campaign?
The Volkswagen ‘The Force’ campaign that was launched at this year’s Superbowl and has done phenomenally well internationally through YouTube (currently at over 32 million views). It doesn’t have some secret ‘viral’ magic ingredient, it worked because it is a simple, funny spot - the basics of a good ad campaign.
To tweet or not to tweet?Tweet, tweet. I am obsessed with Twitter - especially now that George Hook is following me! I have arrived people! Follow me for amazing knowledge @j__ro
