Nielsen Admosphere

Time-shifted TV viewing accounts for an additional 2% of TV ratings in Bulgaria. The majority (75%) of time-shifted viewing occurs on the same day as the live broadcast. Time-shifting is more common among urban viewers and higher socioeconomic groups. Most (69%) time-shifted viewing comes from IPTV households. The TV channels and genres most popular for time-shifted viewing, such as series and reality shows on bTV and Nova, are largely the same as for live viewing.

Time-shifted TV audience in Bulgaria
Introduction 2
Introduction Nielsen Admosphere Bulgaria runs a national TV audience measurement project since 2014. Currently both live and time-shifted TV viewing are measured and reported. Time-shifted TV audience = viewing a program on a TV set later after its live broadcast. Various types of devices and/or services enable this: PVR, HDD, IPTV, Smart TV etc. In Europe there are about 20 countries in which the time-shifted audience to some extent is part of the television measurement. Most often time-shift up to 7 days is measured (as well as in Bulgaria and the Czech Republic), rarely occur different maximum number of days (3, 6 or 28). 3
What is Timeshift viewing and how it can happen? Timeshift viewing Watching of some the TV stations broadcast, but later than the time of live broadcast. This delay can be minutes to several days. Practically Timeshift viewing occurs in many different ways Using the "Timeshift" on devices (TVs, set-top boxes) with Hard Disk Drive (HDD). "Manual" program recording (at HHD, DVD, USB, etc.) and later watching of it. TV archive service usage (video library, back views...) of IPTV or cable operator. Using functions of Smart TV and OTT devices (HbbTV, other applications) for accessing the TV archives. Using the TV set as a screen for viewing the TV program played on a computer or smartphone. 4
How do we measure it? Using an audiomatching technology, i.e. by comparing the audio fingerprints from households with reference databases of the TV stations broadcast so the methodology is the same as with live TV audience. This is the way it is measured in vast majority of developed European countries. Timeshift audience is measured in all households in the panel and on all the TVs in these households. 7 days horizon means that we measure viewership up to the end of the 7th day following the date of the live broadcast (remember that TV day begins and ends at 6:00 a.m.). i.e. we mark the TV live broadcast day as the "zero" day, then we measure viewership during zero day, first, second, ..., up to seventh day, it means we measure in 1 + 7 = 8 days. 5
How do we report it? It is reported always to the time of live broadcast important is not the time when the viewing happened but what program was viewed (position in the live broadcast). Data on timeshift viewing of a program (or spot) are delivered to users gradually: The next morning you have Timeshift viewing for Day 0" (= VOSDAL = Viewed On Same Day As Live). The next morning figures for Day 1 are added etc. Complete timeshift audience data (days 0-7) are available only after 7th day from the live broadcast. In Adwind Kite you can calculate with any subset of live + days 0-7 (defined in the analyses settings). The basic indicator of Timeshift TV audience is (as with live) "rating", either as % of TV population or thousands of viewers If someone watches a program in Timeshift mode more than once, rating counts him more than once. So we work (as well as all markets) with a cumulative rating. The total audience (live and timeshift) is defined as a sum of live and timeshift audience, again according to usual practice. 6

The least ones are news and sport.
