Audience Measurement & Analytics Limited (aMap) is an overnight TV audience measurement system that used to provide data on television in India such as demographics, ownership, and viewership. It also runs the AmapDigital, an overnight DTH (Direct-to-home) TV audience measurement panel.[1] The data is now being provided by Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) India. BackgroundaMap began in 2004 on the basis of its research in India, which showed that a number of opinion leaders felt that the industry required an audience measurement system. aMap collects viewership data using Telecontrol VIII data collection units sourced from Telecontrol AG, and wireless connections using GSM modems. ActivitiesaMap provides data on television ratings, gross rating points (GRP), reach, time spent, market share, target groups, connectivity of channels, content analysis and more. aMap has an overnight panel encompassing 6,000 metered homes. aMap delivers data overnight so that yesterday’s data can be accessed today by the subscribers.[2][3] Over and above the usual demographics like SEC, age, gender and C&S availability, viewing data is also reported across durable ownership, vehicle ownership, type of TV, size of household, occupation and education of individuals, monthly household income, children at home, chief wage earner, type of dwelling and more. aMap's methodologyA team of Telecontrol experts, three professors at IIM Ahmedabad has developed mathematical and statistical modules that help aMap undertaking a data health check every day. aMap chosen as audience measurement currency by Eurodata TV worldwideEurodata TV Worldwide has released, ‘One Television Year in the World’[4] a handbook on TV audience measurement data across the world. “Eurodata TV Worldwide” is the international data bank of TV programmes and audiences, which now covers over 2000 channels throughout 80 territories and provides daily program information including: content, production, international distribution and the audience levels for targeted programs, all data emanating directly from the authorized institute based in each country.
