Considerations for weighting variables Universes for commonly traded TM’s should be ANCHORED to maintain stability WEIGHTING VARIABLES SHOULD BE Stable across time Easy to collect from the panel Have fewer intervals BE A DISTINGUISHER FOR TV CONSUMPTION

PARTING COMMENTS from Robert Ruud The current state of the BRC TAMS panel is good, the last remaining improvement takes place once the installed panel aligns with the TV household Universe from the new ES (at end March 2017), in place of the AMPS TV household Universe. The transition to the new ES, with an updated socio-economic model should alleviate the strain the movement in LSM’s has on a live panel. The increase of the panel to a 4000 household sample is now essential to keep the service up to date and in-line with an evolving broadcasting environment.
