Notes
- Historic data is presented from as far available. Since MMS has not been measuring Web TV for
two full calendar years, the measurements from 2011 are not sufficient for comparison.
- Between weeks 42 and 48 the measurement code for MTG TV was revised due to overall complications in the user experience, meaning that measurement data from this period is incomplete.
PREFACE
The media landscape is constantly changing, and right now driving its development is Internet and Moving
Picture content. As a result of this, we can look back at a truly amazing year for web-TV viewing. In 2012, a long
series of records for TV-viewing via Internet were set. Almost 616 million streams were started and almost 92
million hours were spent on web TV during the year.
The programme with the greatest web audience over the course of the year was the traditional Christmas
Eve episode of “Julkalendern”, which was shown on SVT Play. “Julkalendern” attracted an audience of just
under 468 000 during an eight day period. The record in terms of number of streams started was set by SVT
and Sveriges Radio for the programme “Musikhjälpen”, which generated over 729 000 started streams in the
week it aired. Earlier in the autumn, the season première of “Solsidan” on TV4 broke viewing records with an
online audience of over 204,000, which clearly shows that television programmes with large television audience
numbers can also generate large viewing figures on the Web. For MTG TV, the ninth episode of “Svenska
Hollywoodfruar” generated more than 314 000 hits with a further online audience of nearly 77 000. SBS TV’s
greatest success of the year was the third episode of the documentary “Fråga Olle”, which peaked with nearly
186 000 starts plus an online audience of just below 135 000.
Patterns linked to both content and availability has emerged strongly in the web-viewing category during the
past year. Traditional TV viewing has been shown to catalyze web TV viewing with the attractiveness of the
programme increasing the number of viewers on both platforms. Both “Solsidan” and “Julkalendern” are prime
examples of this. We have also noticed that internet only Web TV content can also reach a large audience
without the support of traditional TV.
For the consumer, it is rarely a question of choosing either web-TV or traditional TV as the vast majority choose
both. Their choice is influenced by when they can watch the content, the type of content available and by the
availability of content on specific viewing platforms. Therefore the synergy between web-TV and traditional TV is
obvious. It is certain that the viewer will have a greater opportunity to choose what, where, when and how they
decide to view their TV media in the future. However, there is nothing to suggest that “TV Guide” TV is heading
towards the grave, with all indications pointing towards a mutually beneficial co-existence with a more user
defined TV viewing experience.
Finally we would just like to note that despite a breakthrough in the last year, web TV is still in its infancy and
research suggests the TV viewing on mobile or tablet devices will increase sharply in the coming years. It is also
predicted that total television viewing, regardless of platform will continue to increase. However one thing that
will stay constant is that MMS will be there to measure the consumption, regardless of the medium.
Happy reading!

Total Level
This report is divided into two parts, total level and title level. Total level shows a macro perspective with help of the measurements of started streams and time spent. All web TV consumption
derived from players that are a part of the MMS online currency is included in the total figures,
with the exception of advertisements. Everything is accumulated to the total level regardless of
whether we spent two hours or 2 seconds viewing a programme or clip. The other part of the
report, title level, has a micro perspective and focuses on individual programmes and clips, measuring started streams and web audiences.

615 597 112 streams were started last year, which averages out at 11 838 406 starts
per week. According to the graph for started streams, there are three distinct peaks
during the year: Between February and March, the first half of August and the middle of
December. The summer period is usually a low season for both TV and web-TV viewing,
but large events such as the London Olympic games 2012 attracted a large amount of
viewers, showing clear results when measured. Just as with the previous year, there is a
positive viewing trend up until the 50th week with a downturn during the last 2 weeks of
the year.

Week 8 was the year’s highest recorded week with 20 900 000 started streams. The

SVT’s web TV initially shows a declining trend in started streams from
relatively high levels. The summer period registered lower levels compared
to previous year, with the exception of the duration of the Olympic Games,
resulting in high levels of streams started during weeks 31 and 32. During
week 50 both, “Julkalendern” and “Musikhjälpen” achieved the highest figures
of the year.
In all 384 278 559 streams were started on SVT during the course of the year.
That is an average of 7 389 972 a week.

The graph for hours spent does not fluctuate like the graph for streams started.
The previous year’s figures show higher levels from June to October, with the
exception of during week 31. There is a dramatic increase in the 50th week,
with “Musikhjälpen” making a large contribution. Out of a total 4 876 802
hours spent during week 50, 2 900 000 of those hours can be attributed to
“Musikhjälpen”.
A total of 42 155 954 hours were spent viewing SVT Play during the year, giving
an average consumption of 810 691 hours a week.

TV4 had the highest numbers of streams started during the spring
months and also during larger periods in the autumn. The positive
trend between weeks 6 and 8 can largely be contributed to “Big
Brother”. The trend for started streams on TV4 is very similar to
last year, with the exception of a peak in September 2011, largely
attributed to the screening of the popular music reality show “Idol”.
In total, 147 839 900 streams were started from TV4 during the
year, averaging out at 2 843 075 per week.

For the most part, figures for the hours spent viewing match those for
started streams during the year. The large levels during May show an
average consumption of more than 300 000 hours per week. Compared to
2011, the summer of 2012 had a slightly higher consumption, whilst the
consumption for the rest of the year is slightly lower than in 2011. In total,
8 925 563 hours were spent viewing, which gives an average of 171 645
hours spent viewing per week.

The daily distribution shows the average consumption for each day of the
week throughout the year. Note that the diagram is dual-axis, with the left
axis representing streams started and the right axis representing time
spent in hours.
The figures reveal that the visitors start the most streams and spend the
most time viewing on Sundays. On average, 1 800 000 streams were started
and 242 000 hours of web TV were consumed every Sunday. Saturday
is the second most popular day with regards to starting streams, while
Thursday boasts the second most amount of time spent viewing. On the
whole, the differences between the days of the week are relatively small.

The daily distribution is variable depending on the operator. SVT has the highest
levels of streams started during both Saturdays and Sundays. The time spent viewing
on Saturdays is relatively lower compared to Fridays. That means that the daily
distribution of started streams and the time spent viewing for SVT shows an inverse
trend for Fridays and Saturdays, which is unique for SVT.
For MTG TV, most streams were started and the most hours spent viewing on
Wednesdays. Consumption averaged 175 000 streams started and 62 000 hours spent
viewing. The lowest consumption occurred during Fridays and Saturdays. Fridays and
Saturdays were also the lowest recorded days for TV4 and SBS TV. TV4 had its highest
levels on Sundays with an average of 468 000 started streams and 73 700 hours spent
viewing. For SBS TV, Mondays recorded the highest consumption throughout the year,
with an average of 95 600 streams started and 27 300 hours spent viewing.
18
Title Level
The second part of this report will cover the “title level” and will also become the central measurement of the web audience in addition to the data from streams started.
The web audience indicates the size of the average audience. The measurement is time based
and it is calculated by dividing the total time (As generated by a title during a specific period),
with the title’s length.
For example:
“Julkalendern”, episode 1
Total time spent: 50 minutes
Length of the programme: 10 minutes
Web audience = 50/5 = 5
Since we do not have a panel to measure web TV consumption, we cannot in the current situation make statements about ratings on the web. Theoretically, the same person can watch
“Julkalendern” five times and contribute 50 minutes to the total consumption, while similarly
10 people can watch half the programme (5 minutes) and also contribute 50 minutes to the
total consumption. Therefore web audience has no definitive reach measurement without an
indication of the average audience size. This measurement system has a number of advantages
in comparison to the currently available measurement techniques when it comes to measuring
programmes and clips.
1. Comparability between different programmes: Since the web audience takes into account the
time of consumption, programmes with different lengths are comparable.
2. Using the same calculation method as for traditional TV ratings: When talking about TV ratings, the calculation method is the same as for the web audience, with both measurements
relating to the average viewing figures throughout the programme. The difference is that for the
calculation of TV ratings, MMS have a panel that records TV viewing statistics and therefore certainly have grounds to express an opinion on actual consumption and use the word “viewers”.

TOP 50 PROGRAMMES (1-25)
This table below shows the top 50 programmes (Programmes = at least 10 minutes), screened during
2012, sorted by the number of streams started. The titles are consolidated regardless of publication
date, which means that all titles have accumulated viewers during the publishing day and the following
7 day period. This table shows the title’s location, publishing week, sender, title name, episode, streams
started, web audience and TV ratings. The TV rating is based on a specific broadcast time even if the
programme has been sent on several occasions and across multiple TV channels.

MMS measures and analyses the
consumption of moving pictures…
Since 1993 MMS has conducted statistical measurement of TV viewing figures in Sweden. Since
2011 MMS have also been conducting measurements of Web TV in cooperation with other leading companies involved in the industry. MMS monitors trends and develops new methods for
measuring moving pictures on all technical platforms. Our customers are mainly TV channels,
media agencies and advertisers.
The Web TV media market is expanding year by year, making it increasingly important to provide the industry with a stable currency. MMS, as an independent party, has the ambition to
measure the consumption of moving pictures on the web. MMS aims to collect all available data
and stand as a guarantor of quality, providing accurate refined viewing data.
What and how do we measure?
Historically most operators have measured data such as number of visits and started streams
on their web sites, traditionally using different companies to provide measurement data from
different viewing mediums. MMS uses a method built on the fact that the same measuring
provider is used for all participating operators, while measuring precisely how long a visitor
watches each programme/​clip. In doing so we can obtain statistical data for consumption over
time, which is more similar to the established measurement of traditional TV.
Currently we perform measurements for the four major Web TV services, namely SVT, MTG TV,
TV4 and SBS TV. Measurement covers all platforms that play media from a web browser. MMS
are not measuring the consumption of media on smart phone applications, tablets or smart TV.
Currency
All of the participating operators are measured in the same way with MMS standing as an independent measuring company, guaranteeing both quality and compliance with industry standards. With transparent public figures, MMS gives full comparability in detail. Together with a
reference group from the participating operators, MMS have formulated a set of principles and
measuring rules to ensure that Web TV figures will always be stringent and unambiguous.
Measurement
Our main measurement focus is started programmes (also called started streams) and clips,
with precision measurement of viewing time. When a programme or clip is started by a visitor
on the web site, a specific signal comprised of different parameters is sent to the system of web
statistics for the media player. Through the measurement of time, MMS can calculate the title’s
average audience size (Web Audience) by taking the total time viewed
and dividing it by the length of the title. This web measurement is
comparable with its TV measurement counterpart, average audience.
28
The official measurement for Web TV is calculated with 8 Days consolidated traffic, i.e. viewing
figures for a title on the publication day and the following 7 days. This means that the measurement is calculated using the same consolidation period for the TV and that the programmes and
clips are comparable with each other over time. Please note that the measurement of web TV is
based on the same logic as traditional TV, i.e. if a “person” watches a programme several times
(through so-called time shift viewing), the viewing is included in the measure.
Process for measuring
The measuring system is based on a measurement code that is implemented at each respective
site. Measurement code is implemented on all the different web players used by the operator.
The technique used is comScores Stream Sense ™. The measuring is web based and does not
require either additional installation of browser plug-ins or special players to perform the measurement. The measuring company’s system measures all activity from users including starting, stopping, pausing, flushing, etc. A calculation is then carried out to find out exactly how long
the title was played for. Data is stored in so-called event levels, where each event is an activity
from the user (start, pause, stop, etc.). Event data is collected and stored on the participating
site’s database. The data is then aggregated into a more manageable level of detail and sent to
MMS via the measuring company. When the operator uploads a new title (programme or clip)
on its site, information about the title is sent to MMS. The meta data contains information about
the title’s name, length, when it was broadcast on TV and other information that MMS uses for
quality control.
It is important to match the actual web TV programme against corresponding programmes on
traditional TV and thus to a certain extent complement the TV figures. These viewing figures
are presented side by side, but we should observe that the measurement methods differ. MMS
has comprehensive measurement data for all television programmes, and therefore has built
a matching model to use with web TV and ease the comparison process. This is an automated
process, which requires some manual tweaking.
Quality Controls
MMS performs quality controls on all reported material. The following quality controls are for
the most part in use today with various aspects under implementation:
- Visual control of titles
- Matching against TV
- Categorization
- Matching clips to the main programme publishing date
- Overall secure levels in order to detect unusual fluctuations
- Automatic flagging of unrealistic parameter deviations
- Separate monitoring system
- The measurement system is a collaboration between MMS, participating sites, and comScore.
All of whom have a responsibility to uphold a high standard of quality.
HotTop Web
MMS publish television viewing figures on mms.se, and on the free tool HotTop TV. HotTop TV is
now also available as an app for both iOS and Android).
29
For Web TV, there is a free online tool for showing viewing figures. This is called HotTop Webb and is available for everyone online at hottopweb.mms.se
