With much talk of an evolving media landscape, the acceleration

in device adoption and delivery platforms and shifts in viewing patterns,

we sometimes forget to let the numbers speak for themselves.

Today we are challenged with an important transition in how media

is consumed. We know that traditional television viewing on a TV screen

is down, especially for younger viewers, but we also know that overall

media consumption is up and growing, driven by an impressive growth in

digital video viewing. With this in mind, we should be looking at the

consumers relationship to media in a different way. Letting the numbers

speak for themselves we see that viewers of all ages, ethnicities and races

are opting to shift some of their viewing.

THIS CONTINUING SHI FT SHOULDBE EMBRACED AS AN OPPO RTUNIT Y.

ITS NOT ABOUT WI NNERS AND LOSER S,ITS ABOUT THE OPPORTUNIT Y TOITERATE AND REDEFINE TH E RULESOF THE GAME.

Driven by younger viewers initially but embraced by older viewers

increasingly, consumers are device and platform agnostic looking for quality,

professionally produced long form programs to connect with at home

or on the go.

Today, content is delivered and consumed through competing deliveryplatforms, networks and screens. Never before have we seen this

level of fragmentation and yet, the sum total of media consumed is

growing. In fact, year over year among the younger 18-34

demo media consumption has grown four percent overall, two

percent among Hispanics, eight percent among Blacks, and ten percent

among Asians.

This change is primarily driven by the growth in digital both on computers

and mobile devices, led by an outstanding growth in digital video viewing

on these devices. We are seeing year over year overall growth in digital use

of sixteen percent among persons 18-34 with fifty-three percent growth

in digital video viewing. Yet, its not just a young versus older story. This

impressive growth in digital is even more marked among 35-49 year oldsand among 50-64 year olds.

Technology has enabled increased choice and consumers have become

accustomed to controlling the wide array of content at their fingertips.

At the core of it all is the consumer experience in interacting and accessing

that content. Some people will want their content live on their TV screen

delivered via a traditional or broadband enabled connection, some will

want to watch it at a different time, while others will increasingly look for

it on the go and on demand on their mobile devices. With smartphones

topping seventy percent penetration and tablets inching toward the fifty

percent mark, the growth in digital consumption can only increase.

This represents a unique opportunity for video producers, TV networks,

studios and pure-play digital video players alike, who can leverage

the different platforms to deliver their content. We will continue to see

differences in the type and quantity of media consumed by different

age groups as well as by race and ethnicity on different platforms. Yet,

the overarching data suggests that the growth of media consumption

is and will continue to be in digital for all consumers. We can surmise

that having tasted the freedom of choice the American consumer will not

go back to old ways.

GLOSSARY

TV HOUSEHOLD: Nielsen defines a TV household as a home with at least one operable

TV/monitor with the ability to deliver video via traditional means of antennae, cable STB or

Satellite receiver and /or with a broadband connection.

TRADITIONAL TV:Watching live or time-shifted content on a television set.

WIRED CABLE:Traditional cable delivered through wires to your home.

TELCO:A paid TV subscription delivered fiber-optically via a t raditional telephony provider.

SATELLITE:A paid TV subscription where the signal is distributed to an orbiting satellite.

The amplified signal is then re-transmitted to the home and received via a dish. (Sometimes

also referred to as dish).

BROADBAND ACCESS:A paid, high-speed Internet access delivered via DSL, Cable

Internet through cable provider, Fiber-Optic Service, U-Verse, Satellite Internet, Data Card

(aircard that connects to a cellular phone network) or PC tethered to cell phone (cellular

phone network).

NARROWBAND ACCESS:A household that accesses the Internet via a telephone line (often

referred to as dial up).

BROADCAST ONLY: A mode of television content delivery that does not involve satellitetransmission or cables (iea paid service). Also commonly referred to as Over-the-air.

BROADBAND ONLY: A household with at least one operable TV/monitor that receives

video exclusively through a broadband internet connection instead of traditional means

(over the air, wired cable, telco, satellite).

AM/FM RADIO:Listening to programming from AM/FM radio stations or network

programming.

MULTIMEDIA DEVICE: Viewing on an Apple TV, Boxee, Roku, Google Chromecast, or other

internet connected device through the television. This does not include DVD / Blu-Ray

Devices, Game Consoles, or Computers.

ENABLE SMART TV: A household with at least one television set that is capable and

enabled to access the internet.



TELEVISION METHODOLOGYOn Traditional TV includes Live usage plus any playback viewing within the measurementperiod. Time-shifted TV is playback primarily on a DVR but includes playback from VOD,DVD recorders, server based DVRs and services like Start Over.On Traditional TV reach includes those viewing at least one minute within themeasurement period. This includes Live viewing plus any playback within the measurementperiod. Second Quarter 2014 Television data is based on the following measurement

interval: 03/31/14-06/29/14. As of February 2011, DVR Playback has been incorporated intothe Persons Using Television (PUT) Statistic.

Metrics for Using a DVD/Blu-Ray Device and Using a Game Console are based on whenthese devices are in use for any purpose, not just for accessing media content. Forexample, Using a Game Console will also include time when the game console is beingused to play video games.

ONLINE METHODOLOGY

In July 2011 an improved hybrid methodology was introduced in Nielsens NetView andVideoCensus product. This methodology combines a census level accounting of page viewsand video streams where Nielsen measurement tags have been deployed in order to projectaudience and behavior to the full universe of all Internet users. For VideoCensus, theportion of the total video streams calibra ted by census data, previously allocated to Home/

Work computers, are now allocated to other devices and locat ions such as smartphonesand viewing outside of home and work. This change affects both Watching Video on theInternet and Using the Internet figures. Beginning in Q1 2012, Cross-Platform metricsare derived from the new hybrid panel. Year over year trends are available beginning in Q32012. Data should not be trended to previous quarters published editions.

Hours:minutes for Internet and video use are based on the universe of persons who usedthe Internet/watched online video. All Internet figures are weekly or monthly averages overthe course of the quarter. All Using the Internet on a Computer metrics are derived fromNielsen NetView product, while all Watching Video on the Internet metrics are derivedfrom Nielsen VideoCensus product. Watching Video on the Internet is a subset of Usingthe Internet on a Computer.

Due to the release of the Chrome browser v.19 in May 2012, some Nielsen Netview data fora small number of sites that have extensive use of HTTPS is under reported for May and

June 2012. A solution has been implemented for July 2012 reporting. This affects Using theInternet on a Computer during this time.

YouTube Partner reporting became available through Nielsen VideoCensus featuring May2012 data. YouTube Partner data is reported as individual channels under the YouTube brandin Nielsen VideoCensus. Data for each YouTube partner is aggregated across two entitylevels, the broadest as Nielsen VideoCensus channel entity and the more granular beingNielsen VideoCensus client-defined entity. This affects the Watching Video on Internetduring this time.

Due to a processing error, YouTube brand-level stream and duration metrics wereinflated from May 2012 May 2013 which impacted Watching Video on Internet. Thecurrent report contains the corrected metrics for the prior year data in the year over yearcomparisons. However, because of an additional processing issue that occurred in Q2 2012(above note), the Q2 2012 data could not be restated and is based on the originally released

data points.

As of January 2014, two factors led to an increase in Watching Video on the Internet.

Secure or https streaming of videos was added into report ing for entities such as

Facebook. Additionally, YouTube mobile streams became included within the hybrid

reporting.



RADIO METHODOLOGY

AM/FM RADIO METHODOLOGY: Audience estimates for 48 large markets are based ona panel of people who carry a portable device called PPM that passively detects exposureto content that contains inaudible codes embedded within the program content. Audienceestimates from the balance of markets and counties in the US are based on surveys ofpeople who record their listening in a written diary for a week.

The estimates in this report are based on RADAR and the National Regional Database.RADAR reports national network radio ratings covering the US using both PPM and Diarymeasurement and it is based on a rolling one-year average of nearly 400,000 respondentsaged 12+ per year.

Monthly Radio Estimates: Nielsens Measurement Science group used statistical modeling

techniques to estimate the total cume audience to radio in a four week period, as compared

to the total cume audience to radio in an average week. The methodology utilized PPM

panel data, and essentially measured how many people who were not exposed to radio in a

single week might typically be exposed to radio over a consecutive four week period. A radio

cume growth factor was then determined and applied to radio listening on a national basis.

NOTES: Listening to HD radio broadcasts, Internet streams of AM/FM radio stations andSatellite Radio is included the Persons Using Radio estimates in this report where the

tuning meets our reporting and crediting requirements.

MOBILE METHODOLOGY

Nielsens Electronic Mobile Measurement (EMM) is an observational, user-centric approachthat uses passive metering technology on smartphones to track device and applicationusage on an opt-in convenience panel. Results are then reported out through NielsenMobile NetView 3.0. There are approximately 5,000 panelists in the US across both iOS andAndroid smartphone devices, and this method provides a holistic view of all activity on asmartphone as the behavior is being tracked without interruption.

A number of steps are taken after the data collection process to ensure the reported datais representative of the mobile population. Weighting controls are applied across fivecharacteristics (gender, age, income, race, and ethnicity) while independent enumerationstudies are carried out on a continuous basis to provide the most current estimates ofthe mobile population (aka Universe Estimation). This mobile population is drawn froma combination of Mobile Insights, as well as surveying the National People Meter (NPM)panel that is the industry standard and currency for TV Ratings.

Figures reported in Nielsens Mobile NetView 3.0 include those individuals who are P18+who have used an iOS or Android smartphone device in the US during Q2 of 2014. Inparticular:

Using any App/Web on a Smartphone refers to consuming mobile media contentthrough a web browser or via a mobile app. It does not include other t ypes of activitysuch as making/receiving phone calls, sending SMS/MMS messages etc, which has beenexcluded for this report.

Watching Video on a Smartphone is a subset of Using any App/Web on a Smartphoneand refers to those individuals who visit a website or use a mobile app specifically designedto watch video content.

Due to this methodology change from survey based data to EMM as of the Qtr 4 2013report, data should not be trended to previous quarters published editions. The current

report contains the revised metrics for the prior year data in the year over year comparisons.
