About the EIAA European Media Landscape Report
The EIAA European Media Landscape Report focuses on pan‐European and local market
insights from the latest EIAA Mediascope Europe study.
The EIAA has been conducting the industry standard European piece of cross‐media consumer
research, Mediascope Europe, since 2003 and it has made a major contribution to the
understanding of changing media consumption patterns, the evolving consumer and e‐
commerce trends.
• It is widely used by many leading advertisers and media agencies across Europe to shape
and support their media strategies
• It has helped to increase investment in online media
• It gives great recognition to the countries which are covered in the study as being key
markets in the European landscape
• It is in huge demand every year upon publication and receives a strong level of press
coverage and presence at leading conferences
• It provides a stamp of quality in the market for those who support and use the study
• It has given valuable information for internet companies on how to evolve their online
proposition and services over this period
• It is used by many research and academic experts
Mediascope Europe covers consumer use of Internet, Radio, TV, Mobile, Newspapers and
Magazines and clearly demonstrates the growing shift to interactive media across the European
markets surveyed.
The 2010 Mediascope Europe study was extended to Poland, Portugal, Russia, Switzerland and
Turkey in addition to the 10 markets previously covered (UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain,
Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden) to capture the varying ways in which
consumers are developing across Europe and assess their similarities and differences.
Giuliano Stiglitz, Global Sales Director, Orange Advertising Network ‐ France Telecom Group
said “Mediascope is a key European monitor that helps our team and customers to better
understand media consumption and trends such as media meshing and mobile media. It provides
us with insights that add to our thought leadership across core European countries, including
Poland and Russia where we operate.”

Media use
Weekly media use
A key part of the EIAA Mediascope Europe study is analysis of which media European people
use in a typical week. We ask respondents if they use the internet, both via PC/laptop and
mobile/PDA, read newspapers or magazines or listen the radio. When we ask about traditional
media we are clear to state that this is ‘not through the internet’ as traditional media is
migrating online.

Question: Q1a/2a. In a typical 7 day week, that is Monday to Sunday, can you tell me if you…?
Base: All Europe 15 respondents (n=12554)
Findings show that more than 9 in 10 people in all 15 European markets surveyed watch TV in a
typical week, 64% listen to the radio, 65% read newspapers, 57% read magazines and more than
half (53%) use the internet either via their PC/laptop or mobile phone.
The number of people watching or downloading film, video or TV via the internet has reached
120m (43%) across the 15 European countries surveyed with almost a third of European internet
5
(32%) watching clips, 24% downloading clips and 11% using on demand TV. This particular online
activity is most popular in central Europe, especially the UK.
Looking at 10 market data for trends we can see that over the 6 years of the study there hasn’t
been much change in the percentage of people watching TV (not through the internet). On
average 94% watch TV, slightly up on 2008, perhaps because the survey was conducted further
into the winter months but it’s down 3% since 2004.
Across Europe the percentage of TV users varies very little market by market. Italy have the
highest TV audience at 98% and Poland and Germany have the lowest with 92% and 90%
watching TV in a typical week respectively.

Question: Q1a/2a. In a typical 7 day week, that is Monday to Sunday, can you tell me if you watch TV?
Base: All Respondents in Europe (n=12554)
Looking at 10 market trend data, as with TV, radio use via a traditional or stand alone device
(not through the internet) has remained more or less static since 2004. 64% of Europeans across
15 markets surveyed listen to the radio in a typical week. Listening to the radio is most popular
in Northern Europe – Belgium, Denmark and the Netherlands. Additionally, a quarter (25%) of all
European internet users surveyed now listen to the radio online.
65% of Europeans across 15 markets surveyed read newspapers. Looking at 10 market trend
data the percentage of Europeans reading newspapers is actually down 3% since 2008 and
6
furthermore has decreased 8% since 2004. Clearly news reading is moving online with 56% of
European internet users visiting news websites and this varies hugely market by market so for
example in Denmark 64% of internet users read news online. Similar trends are seen in
magazine consumption with a decline of 4% in use since 2008.
Internet penetration it highest in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands with over 8 in
10 people using the internet each week. Growth figures show that there is still room for
increases across the more mature markets and other such as Spain and Italy as well. Italy shows
the highest growth from 2008, up +15% closely followed by UK (+14%), Spain (+10%) and
Norway (+10%).

Question: Q1a/2a. In a typical 7 day week, that is Monday to Sunday, can you tell me if you.. Use the internet via a laptop or desktop
computer / Use the internet via a mobile phone or PDA device ?
Base: All Respondents in Europe (n=12554)
Germany and Russia are strong market in terms of number of users with 44 million and 42
million logging on each week respectively.
Looking at 10 market data for trends we can see that from 2006 to 2010 there has been a
substantial growth of 19% in the number of Europeans using the internet each week, differing to
traditional media where use has either declined or remained stable:

Question: Q1a/2a. In a typical 7 day week, that is Monday to Sunday, can you tell me if you…?
Base: All Europe 10 respondents (n=7540)
Almost 8 in 10 (78%) 16‐24 year olds use the internet in a typical week. When looking at 10
market trend data we find that internet use is growing most amongst the 45‐55 and 55+ year
olds with a 7% and 19% growth in internet use amongst these older generations respectively.
When comparing men and women men are more likely to use the internet in a typical week.

computer / Use the internet via a mobile phone or PDA device ?
Base: All Respondents in Europe (n=12554)
When comparing men and women across the UK and Russia the female internet population is
higher than the number of men online with 19 million and 22 million women online in these
markets respectively compared with 18 million and 20 million men.
Additionally, unlike the European average, when looking at weekly internet use in Italy,
Denmark, Norway and Turkey by age the study found that the Golden Youth group of 25‐34 year
olds are more likely to use the internet in a typical week that the 16‐24 year olds.
Times of day used
Looking at media use throughout the day across Europe radio (58%) and newspapers (45%) are
the most used media in the morning when people wake up, the internet (71%) and radio (68%)
are most popular media during the day, watching TV (84%) and using the internet (75%) are
used most in the evening and they are also the most popular media activities during the night
8
(54% and 43% use these media respectively) differing to Poland and other markets including as
Italy and Spain where it’s highest in the evening and at night.

Question: Q1b/2b. What times of the day do you typically…during week?
Base: All Europe using each type of media – TV (n=11902) Nsp (n=8454) Mgz (n=5879) Rad (n=8351) Int via PC (n=6823) Int via Mob
(n=1699) All Int (n=7162)
Looking at media use by day part you can see that its online which has an even share of usage
through the day and looking at the TV behaviour of internet users you see TV use dropping in
the evenings for internet users so we really are starting to see an equality in the TV prime time
between the two media and more convergent use as we see Internet on PC is most meshed with
TV and Radio.
Media meshing
Overall 76% of all people across Europe mesh media i.e. use at least two different media at the
same time.

Question: Q5b‐f. When you’re mainly .... which other media do you sometimes use?
Base: All Respondents in Europe (n=12554)
Looking at each individual media 70% of European TV watchers use the internet, read
newspapers/magazines or listening to the radio whilst watching TV.
% of people across EUROPE (15) meshing other media with TV
Question: Q5b‐f. When you’re mainly .... which other media do you sometimes use?
Base: All Europeans (15) who watch TV (n=13918)
65% of European radio users mesh media, 67% use another media whilst they read newspapers,
70% mesh media when reading magazines, 67% use other media whilst on their PC/laptop and
70% of mobile internet users media mesh when online.
Across Europe the highest growth is in the number of people who say they sometimes consume
TV and internet at the same time and this is exciting as its effectively convergence in action.
Additionally if you look at the meshing patterns across all the media you will see the conversion
with digital media (so TV with internet) increasing whilst the old media patterns of TV and
newspaper concurrent use are starting to decrease. This is really showing us that media habits
are changing and the internet is not just another media in people’s portfolio, it is actually
disrupting and changing the way people spend their media time.
