In conjunction with major ratings service Nielsen, CBS is working on a new model to replace the traditional demographic breakdowns. Other recent studies show that heavy use of a product are much better predictors of advertising effectiveness. The new model will be based on viewer attitudes and behaviors, rather than age and sex.
Suggested new market segments for TV: TV companions (homes where TV is always on); Media trendsetters (early adopters of new technologies and new content - heavily multicultural); Sports Enthusiasts; Program passionate (heavy followers of specific programs, biggest DVR time-shifters); Surfers and streamers (most open to watching alternative content); TV moderators (who enjoy being "experts" and influencing others' choices).
