KPMG Media and Entertainment 2010

Time is Money
The digital dilemma continues
KPMG’s Media and

Entertainment Barometer
KPMG LLP (UK)

Introduction
Consumer media spend is down but consumption has increased.
I am pleased to introduce the second KPMG Media and Entertainment Barometer,

our comprehensive six monthly report based on a KPMG commissioned YouGov
survey.
We asked over 1,000 UK consumers about their online and offline media
consumption and the results highlight the scale of the challenge the media industry
faces in halting declining revenues.
Consumer are spending less on traditional and digital media than six months ago,
David Elms but consuming more.
Average spend per UK consumer on traditional media fell from £9.19 in September
2009 when the first Barometer was undertaken, to £7.46 in March 2010 and spend
on digital media also fell (from £1.99 to £0.98.) However the time we spend
consuming media has increased.
The average monthly consumption of traditional media has risen marginally from
11 hours 40 minutes in September 09, to 12 hours 13 minutes. Hours spent
consuming digital media increased even more from 6 hours 14 minutes to 7 hours
28 minutes.
The survey shows that spend has reduced across several parts of the media
industry for example:
• 21 percent of newspaper readers paid nothing for these over the past month,
compared with 15 percent six months ago. In London this almost doubled – 23
percent to 41 percent – highlighting the impact of the Evening Standard moving
to a ‘free’ model
• The situation is similar for print magazines with 19 percent of consumers saying
they had paid nothing for these over the past month compared with 12 percent
six months ago.

significantly higher online revenues.
There is considerable focus on driving digital media revenues and respondents

indicated they do access more media because of online availability, but the tide has
not yet turned as the majority of us still prefer consuming media offline. Only a
quarter favoured online media access compared with 43 percent who said offline
and a third who reported it didn’t make a difference.
However, with 24 percent of respondents using Video on Demand services, there

is a growing appetite for more dynamic and easily available content. Also, with a
marked increase on the time spent online, particularly on social networking and
online games, creating integrated business models which make the most of both
traditional and digital business models continue to be key for the sector.

traditional media
Please indicate which if any of the following activities you have done
in the past month? (traditional media)
In March 2010, all respondents indicated they had engaged in one or more
of the listed traditional media activities during the past month.
Since wave 1 there had been an increase in the proportion watching TV.
This is likely to be due to seasonal factors, with the first wave run at the
end of the summer (September) and the second during the winter (March),
when people are more likely to remain at home and watch TV.

Accessing

Amongst those who had engaged in traditional activities during the past
month, the highest mean spend was on attending music events and
performances (£30.20) and sporting events (£29.68). These also had the
highest spend in wave 1, though the sum spent was marginally down for
wave 2, perhaps reflecting seasonal variation in spend.
Mean spend on newspapers, magazines and the cinema was broadly

in line with wave 1. Spend on video games was significantly down, quite
possibly reflecting the release of popular titles in the month leading up
to wave 1.
The proportion of newspaper readers who spent nothing on these

publications had increased since the last wave. In London this almost
doubled (from 23% to 41%), highlighting the impact of the Evening
Standard moving to a ‘free’ model.
Newspaper and magazine readers aged 16-34 continued to be

considerably more likely to spend nothing on newspapers and magazines
compared with the general population, suggesting this group are more
prone to reading free sheets only or copies purchased by others.
As before, respondents had spent more time watching TV in the past

month than any of the other activities (29 hours), followed by listening
to the radio (16 hours) and reading books (14 hours).

Four-fifths (79%) had engaged in one or more of the listed new media
activities in the past month. No significant increase on wave 1.
Half had visited social networking/blogging sites. There had been an

increase in use of video on demand for TV.
Overall, men were more likely to have engaged in activities than women
(83%, 75%).
Those aged 16-24 tended to be more likely to engage in new media

activities than their older counterparts.
A notable exception was accessing online news portals/RSS feeds,

which was equally popular across groups.
Amongst those who had engaged in each of the listed new media
activities, the highest* mean spend was on downloaded music (£4.26),
as had been the case in the first wave.
Amongst those who had engaged in each of the activities, social

networking/blogging and playing online games consumed the greatest
amount of time (12 and 11 hours respectively).

Traditional vs.New Media:
some comparisons
Fewer people had engaged in new media activities than traditional
(79 percent, 100 percent).
As we might expect, fewer people had engaged in new media activities than
traditional (79%, 100%). The gap had not narrowed since the last wave.
Those aged 55 plus were less likely to have used new media than other age
groups. There was also a significant divide in level of use between the 16-
43s and 35+ groups.
People were around six times more likely to have watched traditional TV than
have streamed TV programmes (94%, 16%). They were also far more likely
to have listened to traditional than streamed radio (79%, 14%) and read a
print magazine than an online one (70%, 17%).
However, There had been an increase in the use of VOD for TV programmes.
This online activity had increased from 19% of all respondents in September
2009 to 24% in March 2010. This increase occurred amongst all age groups,
but was most marked amongst 18-24 year olds and 35-44 year olds.
There was a marked increase in the use of VOD services for TV shows
amongst men. There was only a slight increase amongst women - In
September 2009, 15% of women respondents said that they had used
VOD services for TV programmes, whereas in March 2010, 17% of
women respondents had said so. The comparable figures amongst male
respondents was 22% increasing to 30%, 6 months later.
By March 2010, ABC1s had caught up with other social grades in the use
of VOD services for TV programmes. In terms of social grade, there was a
marked increase in the use of VOD services for TV shows amongst ABC1s.
There was only a slight increase amongst C2DEs - In September 2009,

21% of C2DE respondents said that they had used VOD services forTV
programmes, whereas in March 2010, 23% of this social grade had said so.
The comparable figures amongst ABC1 respondents was 17% increasing to
24%, 6 months later.
There had only been a slight increase in the use of streaming of services for
TV programmes – increasing from 14% of all respondents in September 2009
to 16% in March 2010.This increase occurred amongst all age groups, but
was once again (as with the use of VOD services forTV shows) most marked
amongst 18-24 year olds; 35-44 year olds; and, amongst male respondents.
There seemed to be most change in online behaviour amongst the 18-24 year
old age group over the past 6 months, as the use of VOD services for audio
visual increased above average.The use of VOD for film increased slightly
amongst all respondents from 3% in September 2009 to 4% in March 2010.
However, it more than doubled amongst the 18-24 age group, from 4% to 9%
The use of social networking / blogging sites has remained the online activity
carried out by most respondents.This online activity had increased from 47%
of all respondents in September 2009 to 50% in March 2010.The increase
amongst the 45-54 age groups was the greatest, increasing from 37% to
45%.
Predictably, male respondents continued to view sporting events online

at much higher levels than women. The difference between the sexes
continued to be around 17% versus 3% in favour of males for this online
activity.

Consumption of media without paying had increased in prevalence in both
online and traditional formats since the last wave.
For example, 19% of print magazine consumers said they had paid nothing
for these over the past month compared with 12% in the first wave.
Newspapers: 21% compared with 15% the first wave.
Consumers of new media continued to be several times more likely to say

they had spent nothing on these activities than consumers of similar types
of traditional media. The 19% of respondents who had read print magazines
said they spent nothing on this compared with four-fifths (85%) of online
magazine readers. A similar story was evident for print newspapers
compared with online news portals (21%, 88%).
Amongst those who had engaged with traditional TV, streamed TV, traditional
radio and streamed radio, mean spend over the past month tended to be
much lower for new media.

media now?
A majority of respondents agreed that the ability to access media online

(e.g. newspapers music, video and radio) meant they now accessed more
media than in the past: almost two-thirds (63%) agreed that they accessed
more, while 14% disagreed. The proportion in agreement had increased
since the last wave (when it stood at 58%).
Around four-fifths of those aged 16-34 agreed compared with just 45%
of those aged 55 plus.
Men were significantly more likely to indicate they were accessing more
media compared with their female counterparts (70%, 56%).

Prefer accessing
online or offline?
Despite a high, and increasing, proportion saying they now accessed
more media because of online availability, people still tended to prefer
consuming offline.

Only a quarter (26%) said they favoured online media access, compared
with 43% who said offline and a third (31%) who reported it didn’t make a
difference. Results were broadly consistent with wave 1.
Those who preferred offline access were asked to indicate why. As per
wave 1, the most popular reasons related to a preference for reading
physical copies or watching on a television set (rather than on a computer
screen). Technical and security concerns troubled relatively few, though the
proportion citing the speed of their internet connection as a barrier rose
slightly (19%, 13%).

Those who preferred online access were also asked for their reasons.
The most important reason, selected by around nine-in-ten (93%), was

availability of ‘on-demand content’. This suggests the importance of
convenience for consumers of online media. Access to free content was
the second most important reason. Almost a third cited the environmental
merits of online media consumption.

Currently paying
for online content?
One-in-ten (10%) currently pay for online content, unchanged from wave
1. Seven per cent pay for content when they want it and 3% subscribe.
Those aged 16 to 24 years were more likely to pay for online content than
older age groups.
Of those accessing online news portals / RSS feeds, a majority of all

respondents continued to pay nothing. Of concern to those aiming to
introduce pay walls for online newspapers, was the fact that an increasing
majority of respondents said that they paid nothing in March 2010 (88%) than
in September 2009 (84%)
The average mean time spent accessing online news portals / RSS feeds had
increased from 5.1 hours per month in September 2009 to 6.6 hours in March
2010.The increase was most marked amongst social grade ABC1, and 35-54
year olds.
There was a noticeable increase in the use of VOD services forTV

programmes, and the streaming of onlineTV shows in the March 2010
survey when compared to September 2009.This probably reflects seasonal
consumption patterns, as generally households watch more audio-visual
programmes during October to March. Amongst those that used VOD
services, the mean average in March 2010 was 6.2 hours over the past month,
1.5 hours more than those who used VOD services in September 2009.The
rise was across the board, but most marked amongst 18-24 year olds
There was a noticeable increase in the playing of online games in the March
2010 survey when compared to September 2009. Once again this probably
reflects seasonal consumption patterns.The increase was from an average of
just over 9 hours played in the past month during the September 2009 survey
to just over 11 hours played in the month during the March 2010 survey.

There was no marked difference in the amount of hours spent per month on
social networking / blogging sites between the sexes (around 12 hours per
month). However, social grade C2DE spent more time per month than other
social grades – just over 15 hours per month.This was also a marked increase
since September 2009, when C2DEs had spent around 11.5 hours per month
on social networking
People who did not currently pay for online content were asked whether they
thought they would become a paid subscriber over the coming 12 months. In
total, 10% indicated they would possibly become a paid subscriber while none
indicated they would definitely do so.This suggests that the market for online
subscriptions is unlikely to grow greatly over the coming 12 months.

3D viewing
With 3D films andTV becoming more prevalent this year, respondents were
asked about their viewing habits and opinions on this growing medium.
More than a quarter (27%) of respondents had viewed a 3D film at the

cinema during the past 12 months. This rose to 42% amongst the 18-24s
and 45% amongst the 25-34s. By contrast, only 29% of 35-44s, 19% of
45-54s and 12% of those aged 55+ had viewed such films at the cinema.
5% had watched a 3D film on TV. Gender and social grade had no impact
on likelihood to watch 3D films either at the cinema or at home.
Despite fairly high levels of 3D viewing, relatively few indicated they were
likely to buy a 3D TV next time they purchase a television set (15%).
Amongst those who said they were unlikely to buy a 3D TV, almost two-
thirds (63%) indicated they did not see the need and 59% expected it to
be too expensive.
Interestingly, four-in-ten (41%) thought 3D TV was a gimmick.
Only a quarter indicated they would prefer to watch TV in 3D if it was

available, with a third (33%) saying they would not and 42% unsure. Levels
of uncertainty suggest that little is known about 3D TV. Appetite for 3D TV
was higher amongst younger age-groups, males and lower socio-economic
groups.
