23. In Summary
1) Mobile TV viewing total volume is still small, though many people now do it
– The mobile revolution makes TV viewing more convenient and more personalized for more
occasions, but viewing still happens on TV sets
2) Convenience is by far the most common motivation for mobile viewing
– Even inside the home, mobile can be the more convenient (or the only way) to watch a show
– Screen multiplier: enables household members to watch different shows at the same time
– Immediacy: mobile spurs spontaneous viewing and enables instant gratification…even when
consumers can navigate to the same shows through a television set
3) TV content distribution source is the biggest mobile vs. television set difference
– Online subscription services currently dominate mobile TV viewing
4) Dramas, comedies, movies and adult animation are the most common mobile genres
5) Daytime, Prime and Late Fringe are the most common dayparts for mobile
6) Mobile viewers are more focused than television set viewers
24. Additional White Paper …
This study also resulted in substantial learnings about best practices for
online mobile journaling research, such as…
– Recruiting techniques, incentive structures and alert notification systems that maximize “in-
the-moment” participation rates on a mobile journaling app
– Journaling research design and mobile app interface considerations for high data quality
– Data QC, integration and analytical considerations for occasion-based journaling data
Additionally, we learned much about the implied impact of mobile TV
viewing on overall TV viewing as well as television set viewing through
TreeNet predictive analytics (and compared these modeling results with
more conventional OLS regression models)
Further details are available in the accompanying white paper for this
presentation
