Still, the dominant means of watching TV content remains the TV set, while mobile devices permit consumers to interact with others while doing so, and to watch TV when they're away from their sets.
Together, this research underscores how deeply habits are changing, and how essential it is for programmers and marketers to capture the TV viewer not only on the “first screen” but also on the screen they use for interaction -- the mobile one in most cases.The changing TV consumption landscape is raising new questions about how, where, and when people use "TV." One of the more interesting is a comment from Ogilvy’s Chief Digital Officer, Brandon Berger -
“We have this idea that the TV is the first screen, but where is the activity occurring? It’s occurring on the tablet or the mobile device, so which one is the priority screen?”So are the changing patterns of use related to social TV merely an incremental evolution of traditional TV uses & gratifications, or are we witnessing the start of a transformational revolution in how people relate to - and use - media and information services? Something to think about.
