10P ‘Castle‘ series finale finished #1 in the time slot with an average 7.764 million viewers and a 5.2/9.

On this date in 1939, the first fashion to be shown on television was broadcast in New York from the Ritz-Carleton Hotel on W2XBS.
NOTE: We have entered a new era in screen ratings. Nielsen is expanding its sample of TV viewers to include new
homes with meters that record the channel being watched—but not the demographics of the people watching. That will be estimated using data modeling and an algorithm Nielsen has developed, and added to the current sample that does include people meters that measure demos. The Panel Expansion (NPX), in which 12,900 households have been added to the national sample, is at the center of this change. The household ratings in these homes are measured by meters on each television in the home, while the demographic ratings in these homes will be assigned by Nielsen using a statistical algorithm. This is the first time since 1987 that homes in the national sample are not equipped with PeopleMeters, which measure both the program viewed and the people watching it.
So?
He said it first….’Television’.
In 1900, the term ‘television’ is coined by Constantin Perskyi at the International Electricity Congress, part of the 1900 Paris Exhibition.
Quote Of The Day
On Fox’s decision to no longer release live-same-day ratings: ‘Their arguments would carry more weight if they were not in last place. It’s like the Knicks announcing they are no longer using the final score — it doesn’t reflect the reality of the modern basketball game.’

The Most Important Factors For Mobile Shoppers Now!
Mobile accounted for roughly 1 in every 6 retail dollars spent online during Q4 2015, per a recent report from comScore. With these devices gaining more influence on digital shopping and in-store buying, it’s important to understand what matters to mobile shoppers. A recent report from Nielsen provides some insights.
The Nielsen survey was carried out among more than 3,700 mobile device owners who had used their smartphone or tablet for mobile shopping, paying or banking in the prior 30 days. Conducted during Q4 2015, the results show that the most common shopping activity undertaken by both smartphone and tablet shoppers is researching an item before purchasing it (72% and 66% having done so in the prior 30 days, respectively). Additionally, the second-most common action, checking the price of an item, was shared by both smartphone and tablet shoppers (70% and 57%, respectively). This points to the use of mobile devices as research tools, which has been well documented in the past. (Indeed, new data from SessionM indicates that among users of its SessionM Mobile Marketing Cloud, mobile devices are more commonly used than desktops/laptops, in-store browsing and window shopping for researching products.
Beyond these common activities, though, there are some divergences between smartphone and tablet shoppers. Smartphone shoppers, for example, were about twice as likely to have used a store locator to find a store (61% vs 30%), almost three times as likely to have used a mobile coupon (55% vs. 20%), and more than twice as likely to have used lists while shopping (44% vs. 18%). These are reflective of the more on-the-go nature of smartphones as opposed to tablets.
For the most part, smartphone shoppers engaged in shopping-related activities on their devices to a greater extent than tablet shoppers. The only actions for which tablet shoppers matched or exceeded smartphone shoppers in engagement related to reviews (reading and writing) and actual purchases. The purchase element isn’t too surprising considering Monetate data demonstrating that conversion rates at US e-commerce sites are consistently higher for tablet than smartphone traffic.
So how to appeal to these shoppers? For the most part, smartphone and tablet shoppers share similar sentiments when it comes to their most important factors. The ability to see product pictures is easily the most important factor, cited by 62% of smartphone shoppers and 63% of tablet shoppers. Next up, using the mobile-friendly version of a website is – not too surprisingly – more important to smartphone (48%) than tablet (35%) shoppers. Beyond those, both device owners similarly weight the importance of having the product descriptions, being able to read product reviews and the ability to see/compare price of the product.
Other research, from Adobe, suggests that convenience and the ability to check prices are the most important facets of the overall mobile retail experience.
Interestingly, the security of the website is lower down the rung of factors for both sets of mobile shoppers, though it was more commonly cited by tablet shoppers responding to the Nielsen survey. Research from Bizrate Insights has similarly found recently that data security issues are not a huge concern for mobile shoppers. These results should be viewed in context of other research, however, indicating that almost 1 in 5 internet users in the US say they’re making fewer purchases online due to privacy concerns.
The Nielsen data also indicates that commerce and shopping app usage are on the rise, growing by 15% year-over-year in Q4 time spent and unique audience. As for apps, previous research from UPS and comScore indicate that product images (54%) and product reviews (53%) are considered the most important retail app features by users.

Today In Communication History
On this date in 1939, the first fashion to be shown on television was broadcast in New York from the Ritz-Carleton Hotel on W2XBS.
NOTE: We have entered a new era in screen ratings. Nielsen is expanding its sample of TV viewers to include new
homes with meters that record the channel being watched—but not the demographics of the people watching. That will be estimated using data modeling and an algorithm Nielsen has developed, and added to the current sample that does include people meters that measure demos. The Panel Expansion (NPX), in which 12,900 households have been added to the national sample, is at the center of this change. The household ratings in these homes are measured by meters on each television in the home, while the demographic ratings in these homes will be assigned by Nielsen using a statistical algorithm. This is the first time since 1987 that homes in the national sample are not equipped with PeopleMeters, which measure both the program viewed and the people watching it.
So?
He said it first….’Television’.
In 1900, the term ‘television’ is coined by Constantin Perskyi at the International Electricity Congress, part of the 1900 Paris Exhibition.
Quote Of The Day
On Fox’s decision to no longer release live-same-day ratings: ‘Their arguments would carry more weight if they were not in last place. It’s like the Knicks announcing they are no longer using the final score — it doesn’t reflect the reality of the modern basketball game.’

The Most Important Factors For Mobile Shoppers Now!
Mobile accounted for roughly 1 in every 6 retail dollars spent online during Q4 2015, per a recent report from comScore. With these devices gaining more influence on digital shopping and in-store buying, it’s important to understand what matters to mobile shoppers. A recent report from Nielsen provides some insights.
The Nielsen survey was carried out among more than 3,700 mobile device owners who had used their smartphone or tablet for mobile shopping, paying or banking in the prior 30 days. Conducted during Q4 2015, the results show that the most common shopping activity undertaken by both smartphone and tablet shoppers is researching an item before purchasing it (72% and 66% having done so in the prior 30 days, respectively). Additionally, the second-most common action, checking the price of an item, was shared by both smartphone and tablet shoppers (70% and 57%, respectively). This points to the use of mobile devices as research tools, which has been well documented in the past. (Indeed, new data from SessionM indicates that among users of its SessionM Mobile Marketing Cloud, mobile devices are more commonly used than desktops/laptops, in-store browsing and window shopping for researching products.
Beyond these common activities, though, there are some divergences between smartphone and tablet shoppers. Smartphone shoppers, for example, were about twice as likely to have used a store locator to find a store (61% vs 30%), almost three times as likely to have used a mobile coupon (55% vs. 20%), and more than twice as likely to have used lists while shopping (44% vs. 18%). These are reflective of the more on-the-go nature of smartphones as opposed to tablets.
For the most part, smartphone shoppers engaged in shopping-related activities on their devices to a greater extent than tablet shoppers. The only actions for which tablet shoppers matched or exceeded smartphone shoppers in engagement related to reviews (reading and writing) and actual purchases. The purchase element isn’t too surprising considering Monetate data demonstrating that conversion rates at US e-commerce sites are consistently higher for tablet than smartphone traffic.
So how to appeal to these shoppers? For the most part, smartphone and tablet shoppers share similar sentiments when it comes to their most important factors. The ability to see product pictures is easily the most important factor, cited by 62% of smartphone shoppers and 63% of tablet shoppers. Next up, using the mobile-friendly version of a website is – not too surprisingly – more important to smartphone (48%) than tablet (35%) shoppers. Beyond those, both device owners similarly weight the importance of having the product descriptions, being able to read product reviews and the ability to see/compare price of the product.
Other research, from Adobe, suggests that convenience and the ability to check prices are the most important facets of the overall mobile retail experience.
Interestingly, the security of the website is lower down the rung of factors for both sets of mobile shoppers, though it was more commonly cited by tablet shoppers responding to the Nielsen survey. Research from Bizrate Insights has similarly found recently that data security issues are not a huge concern for mobile shoppers. These results should be viewed in context of other research, however, indicating that almost 1 in 5 internet users in the US say they’re making fewer purchases online due to privacy concerns.
The Nielsen data also indicates that commerce and shopping app usage are on the rise, growing by 15% year-over-year in Q4 time spent and unique audience. As for apps, previous research from UPS and comScore indicate that product images (54%) and product reviews (53%) are considered the most important retail app features by users.
