During 2003, the ITC, Broadcasting Standards Commission (BSC) and the Radio Authority (RA) merged to form Ofcom, who are now responsible for the surveys. To reflect the inclusion of the RA within Ofcom and the advent of new broadcasting technologies, the most recent years of the survey now also include information on radio programmes, and the internet.<br> <br> The surveys comprise the results of interviews with members of the general public in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, conducted face-to-face in their homes, using CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing) technology. The main objectives of the survey include monitoring trends in the following over time:<br> <li>ownership of new technology (particularly digital and multi-channel television);</li><br> <li>most valued television channels, and attitudes towards the programmes broadcast;</li><br> <li>levels of offence caused by programmes or advertising on the television or radio;</li><br> <li>awareness of the watershed and the organisations responsible for monitoring broadcast quality;</li><br> <li>use of and attitudes towards the internet.</li><br> <br> Further information about research conducted may be found on the <a href=http://www.ofcom.org.uk/research/>Ofcom</a> web site.<br> <br> <br><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR>Topics covered include:<br> <li>technology in the home (television and home entertainment equipment);<br> <li>viewing habits and preferences, including satellite and digital channels viewed;<br> <li>attitudes towards regulation ;</li><br> <li>the provision of news;</li><br> <li>changes in programme standards over time;</li><br> <li>offensive material on television and the radio;</li><br> <li>impartiality;</li><br> <li>the watershed and monitoring of children’s viewing;</li><br> <li>the perceived importance of key programme genres;</li><br> <li>attitudes towards advertising;</li><br> <li>use of the internet, and internet filtering tools.</li><br> AGEATTITUDESOFFENSIVE LANGUAGEBRITISH POLITICAL PARTIESBROADCASTINGCAMERASCENSORSHIPCENTRAL GOVERNMENTCHILDRENCOMMUNITIESCOMPACT DISC PLAYERSCOMPUTERSCONSUMER ACTIONCONSUMER GOODSCONSUMER PROTECTIONCULTURAL FINANCECULTURAL GOODSDECISION MAKINGDEVELOPMENTDISABLED PERSONSDISADVANTAGED GROUPSDISCRIMINATIONECONOMIC ACTIVITYEDUCATIONAL BACKGROUNDDIGITAL GAMESEMOTIONAL STATESEMPLOYMENTETHNIC GROUPSFILMSFREEDOM OF EXPRESSIONFULL-TIME EMPLOYMENTGENDERHEARINGHEARING AIDSHEARING IMPAIRMENTSHOUSEHOLD HEAD'S OCCUPATIONHOUSEHOLDSINDUSTRIESINFORMATION SOURCESINFORMATION SYSTEMSINTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATIONKNOWLEDGE (AWARENESS)LEISURE TIME ACTIVITIESRADIO LISTENINGLOCAL BROADCASTINGLOCAL PRESSLOCATIONMARITAL STATUSMASS MEDIAMASS MEDIA BIASMORAL BEHAVIOURNATIONAL BROADCASTINGNATIONALISMNEWS ITEMSNEWSPAPER READERSHIPNEWSPAPERSNON-VERBAL COMMUNICATIONOCCUPATIONSORGANIZATIONSPARENT RESPONSIBILITYPARTICIPATIONPERIODICALSPERIODICALS READERSHIPPERSONAL CONTACTPLACE OF RESIDENCEPLEASUREPOLICE SERVICESPOLITICAL ALLEGIANCEPOLITICAL INTERESTINTEREST GROUPSPRICESPRODUCTSQUALITYRACISMRADIO NEWSRELIGIOUS COMMUNITIESRESPONSIBILITYSATELLITE TELEVISIONSATISFACTIONSEX DISCRIMINATIONSEXUAL BEHAVIOURSOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUSSPORTSUBSCRIPTIONSTELEPHONESTELETEXTTELEVISIONTELEVISION ADVERTISINGTELEVISION AND RADIO INDUSTRYTELEVISION CHANNELSTELEVISION NEWSTELEVISION PRODUCTIONTELEVISION PROGRAMMESTELEVISION RECEIVERSTELEVISION VIEWINGTIMETRUSTVIDEO RECORDERSVIDEO RECORDINGSASSAULTVOTING BEHAVIOURVOTING INTENTIONCABLE TELEVISIONDIGITAL TELEVISIONINTERNET USEINTERNET ACCESSRADIO PROGRAMMESRADIO RECEIVERSRADIO ADVERTISINGRADIO STATIONS en 2005-03-22T00:00:00Z Dataset Copyright Ofcom United Kingdom https://oai.ukdataservice.ac.uk:8443/oai/provider 5136 2024-11-28T07:25:44Z ddi:codebook:2_5
