RE: GB News - Brekkie - 05-01-2024
I doubt even GB News believed they had 1m viewers after midnight.
RE: GB News - CATV - 05-01-2024
That's will be very embarrassing if it's a big drop.
In other news it's been rumoured that we could be seeing more American content as there is a plan to launch GBNAmerica as a brand. Socials have already been registered.
Wonder if we are moving to a GBN brand rather than GB News.

Interesting that the Press Gazette article implies that BARB uses audio to identify which channel viewers are watching. I'd not heard that before. There must be loads of examples of channels broadcasting the same or very similar audio.

Curious why this 'bug' wasn't discovered during things like the Queens funeral

What BARB do https://www.thinkbox.tv/training-and-tools/barb-data/barb-the-gold-standard-in-media-research
And there are a number of fingerprinting schemas … this one is free

But there are many of them such as

There must be loads of examples of channels broadcasting the same or very similar audio.There are two ways it's done. There's audio matching and audio watermarking.
These are described nicely in this glossary:
https://www.thinkbox.tv/training-and-tools/barb-data/barb-glossary
Audio matching takes snapshots of the channels audio and cross references them with what the research panels box has heard.
Audio watermarking is a sub-audible sound added to the channel that identifies it. Barb use a system made by Kantar, the People Meter 7
https://www.kantar.com/expertise/audience-measurement/people-based-audience-measurement/audience-measurement-technology
The tones are heard by their software and identify the channel being listened to. There is a phone app that can decipher the sub audible tones. Although of course you need a list of what all the codes mean to make it any use.... otherwise it's just a number!
No idea how the GB News mixup could occur, even if they were using the BBCs pictures the watermarking wouldn't be on it. Unless they were using the BBC off-air, but then the error would have been the other way round.
Possibly it was just using programme audio and they were the same, maybe the fact it was the start of a new day is a factor, it's not often that two channels are broadcasting identical audio at midnight
RE: GB News - Stooky Bill - 05-01-2024
Incidently audio watermarking does have an impact on audience figures particularly in radio. Years ago Kelvin Mckensie, then head of Talk Sport commissioned a survey using audience meter watches to rival/challenge Rajar. The end result was that the speech stations all saw increases over their Rajar figures - not just Talk Sport but LBC and Radios 4 and 5
One issue was that headphone listening wasn't counted, the other issue was that the watermarking boxes at radio stations did occasionally make their output audible rather than sub audible - they're more reliable now
RE: GB News - RJLD24 - 08-01-2024
At the start of the news bulletin during Mark Dolan last night, a new 'NAME' appeared (albeit without the newsreader's actual name). Is this new?
