Reaserch techniques: BARB Researcg

BARB, What is it?

BARB, Broadcasting Audience Research Board is a website society that gathers information on television statistics such as Views per week and top tens which can lead to many surprises such as on challenge+1 i was expecting Takeshi castle and the crystal maze to pop up as i knew them to be popular shows when i used to watch television and thought they were popular but on the last week this was the actual results.

So why these results.Who does it appeal to?

I believe with the variety of this channel allows for a wide range of audience both in age and gender, theres the older re runs of shows such as bullseye where as the shows including bullseye as they are generally entertaining and have an old but smooth sense of humor, almost innocent.
