TV Data
The AGF is the leading institution when it comes to finding out how much video content is being used. The AGF data is used by a large number of companies from a wide range of sectors and is regularly used to report on the success of TV offerings. Its elaborate measurement enables AGF to provide granular information on video usage, for example according to different age groups, gender and income or also according to preferences and consumer behavior. Here you will find examples of the top 10 daily programmes with the highest viewing figures as well as market shares for the past month and year.
