BARC: INTRODUCTION Broadcast Audience Research Council of India (BARC) a not for profit
body with an equal representation from Indian Broadcasting
Foundation (IBF), Indian Society of Advertisers (ISA) and Advertising
Agencies Association of India (AAAI).
Guided by the recommendations of the TRAI (Telecom
Regulatory Authority of India) and MIB (Ministry of Information
and Broadcasting) notifications of January 2014, BARC India
brings together the three key
Stakeholders in television audience measurement - broadcasters, advertisers, and advertising and media
agencies, via their apex bodies.
The stakeholders are responsible for the design, commission, supervise and own an accurate, reliable
and timely television audience measurement system for India.
Relative Error: Foreword
There is a tendency to look at granular target groups to compute ratings. Ideally, this approach of targeting a
focused audience may seem attractive but has its own caveats. The term ‘Relative Error’ is simply the
permissible deviation that would be encountered in any statistical sample.
As R.E is primarily driven by the sample size of any Panel and the confidence level used, this can fluctuate
sporadically. The R.E for a Hindi GEC would be lower than an English News channel. The audience base for a
Hindi GEC would always be higher leading to meaningful insights even at granular cuts. On the contrary for an
English News Channel, the same would not hold true.
Looking at a wider target group over a longer time-period would yield better insights. For a channel with a low
audience base, the point estimate observed for an extremely granular cut would not give the true performance of
a channel. Nonetheless, any topical event shows a discernible movement in the audience which can be utilized to
derive meaningful insights. For e.g. during events like Exit Polls where the News channels are sampled to a greater
extent, it is possible to have a finer demographic cut with a lower R.E as compared to a regular day. Similarly,
channels belonging to genres like sports with live telecast or movies with blockbuster airings would show higher
consumption among audiences.
At BARC India, we recommend looking at estimates that fall under an acceptable limit of R.E – the estimate should
not be a one-off event derived from a granular cut of demographic, which cannot be reproduced.
"Slicing and dicing data can be counter-productive when looking at
audience data based on small sample sizes. It can give no meaningful
insights – neither for the content manager nor for a media planner. This is
particularly true for niche channels that don’t attract high viewing
levels; the data have a higher margin of error. Looking at larger target
groups and longer time periods makes the data more robust, and that’s
the way to go for mature markets “
- Justin Sampson, CEO, BARB UK
SAMPLING AND DATA COLLECTION It is near impossible to collect TV viewing data at census level, the sample
based approach taken by BARC is such that it represents the television
owning population in India. The sample is rigorously selected to minimize
sampling and non-sampling errors with a buffer sample over the design to
reduce the impact of errors further.
The collection of viewership data is an intensive process, wherein second by
second information is polled from panel homes to BARC India servers via Bar-
o-Meters placed in panel homes.
The reliability and accuracy in ratings derived from TV panel carries significant
importance as it is used across the ecosystem.
RELATIVE ERROR
The estimates published by BARC are based on a household Panel sample. A representative household sample
result will be projected to the entire universe. Though BARC publishes ratings as point estimates, in reality
they are interval/range estimates. The range depends on the Relative Error associated with each estimate.
Relative error is invoked to prove how reliable or significant an estimate is, bearing in mind this point estimate
may be have divergent views – variable data is treated as reality from that point estimate. A performance of
any channel is not judged based on a single point in time but as a trend. Users tend to forget that there is a high
relative error riding behind these estimates.
It is therefore necessary to understand the relative error in play across different data points; which is
ever present albeit smaller variations are observed when we do not exceed an extreme threshold.
“As with all TV audience measurement based on panels, the issue of size
when analyzing data is an important one of which to be aware. When
looking at niche channels or narrow demographics, users should recognize
that data volatility and statistical error will be greater than for mass
channels or broad demographics. However, such data volatility and
statistical error can also occur with mass channels that may experience
low viewership at certain times. It is advisable to use longer time periods
when running such analyses.”
- Nick Burfitt, MD APAC, Kantar Media
FACTORS AFFECTING RELATIVE ERROR
BARC caters to over 550+ channels, where each channel can be
categorized in to a genre and language. This mixture coupled with the
viewing preferences of individuals which is dynamic and heterogeneous.
Channels within genres strive to appeal to their target audience, some
carry multiple audio feeds to reach a larger audience base. BARC is
transparent in terms of publishing ratings as per the viewing panel,
discrepancies or aberrations observed are incidences of actual viewing –
this is after the panel has been selected by a stringent process to represent
the TV universe. These incidences are human behaviour which we know is
idiosyncratic at times. Unexpected and unpredictable patterns emerging
from a single point in time can be attributed to the very tenet of human
behaviour which would never follow the same trend.
Let us take a program which has an estimated average daily
reach of 15%. And let us assume that Relative error associated with that
program is 10% at a 90% confidence interval. This means that there is a
90% chance that the actual estimate lies between 15% ± (15%*10%) i.e.
13.5% to 16.5%.
TWO FACTORS THAT AFFECT RELATIVE ERROR ARE
1. Sample Size of the TG (n)
2. Reach (P)
We can see from the above Relative Error formula that: • The Relative Error and Sample Size are inversely proportional to each other. i.e. If the sample size
goes down then RE levels will go up and vice versa.

Z = for a 90% confidence level 1.64
P = % of the sample viewed that event (Reach%)
Q = (1 - P) % of the sample NOT viewed that event N = Total Sample
……..………….………………… ……..………….……………………
• The Relative Error and Reach (%) are inversely proportional to each other. i.e. if the P value goes
down then RE levels will go up and vice versa.
Consider two programs of same TG with Reach 10% for Program-1 and Reach 1% for Program-2. Sample size
will be same for both the programs as we are looking at the same TG for both the programs. However, the
Relative errors associated with the Program-1 will be lower than Program-2 as the reach (%) for Program-1 is
higher than Program-2.
Now, consider two programs with same Reach (%) in two different TG’s. Let us assume TG-1 sample is higher
than TG-2. The Relative error associated with the Program-1 will be lower than Program-2 as the sample for TG-
1 is higher than TG-2.
WHY IS RELATIVE ERROR IMPORTANT? Consider a Hindi GEC with reach of 10% at an all India level - average across 28 days has a relative error
of 1%. However, the more granular cut on demographics leads to an increase in relative error. As
observed below the R.E. for UP/UTK for the channel is at 4%, proceeding with a more minute cut as seen
below i.e. 30 min time-band with reach at 3% average across 28 days a R.E. of 88% is observed.
On the same lines, R.E for a 30-minute time-band with an all India level reach of 2% - average across 28
days has a relative error of 3%.

To exemplify the variance in R.E - another example is an English News Channel with reach of 0.6% at an all India
level - average across 28 days has a relative error of 6%. However, the more granular cut on demographics leads
to an increase in relative error. As observed below the R.E. for UP/UTK for the channel is at 18%, proceeding with
a more minute cut as seen below i.e. 30 min time-band with reach at 0.1% average across 28 days a R.E. of 501%
is observed.
On the same lines, R.E for a 30-minute time-band with an all India level reach of 0.03% - average across 28 days
has a relative error of 25%.

“One should not treat Niche channels or genres in the same manner as mass channels/genres. Considering the relative error is increasing with smaller audience rates but is decreasing when cumulated by named days over larger periods, it is advisable to calculate audience ratings for Niche channels/genres cumulated by named days on a 4 week or more data set.” - Gwilherm NICOLAS, M.D. Metricline Business Unit,

Low RE
SUMMARY
The decrease in RE observed is due to BARC panel expansion driven by the
increase in sample size. There are smaller genres showing a higher variance in RE
due to lower incidence of viewing. The increase in RE is substantial if we dissect
and look at finer cuts in demographics – each cut increasing the magnitude
significantly. A demographic cut with a high RE does not indicate the true
performance of any channel, a longitudinal trend would be a better indicator.
The audience sampling a channel has a bearing on its RE. BARC has striven to increase its panel to have a more robust base. This expansion would in turn lead to a more accurate and true portrayal of a channel. Also, the niche channels would have a higher probability of being sampled.
