2011 CH TVRs


that kids are seeing more toy ads. During the half term week (Oct 24th - 30th Oct 2011) there were 279 toys and games campaigns on air compared to 278 in 2010. The average number of TVRs per campaign grew only slightly year-on-year, from 31 to 32 TVRs.


Total 30” CH TVRS- June 2011/November 2011


Each week since half term there has been progressive growth due to campaigns such as Hasbro’s Monopoly Electronic, Spin Masters’ Bakugan and Flair’s Sylvanian Families driving the market.


Hasbro’s Star Wars FX Light Sabres was the top advertised product in the last recorded week. The campaign totalled 99 CH TVRs, four per cent more than the next largest campaign (Hasbro Monopoly Electronic with 95 TVRs).


Left shows the percentage of total CH TVRs that relate to the toys and games category versus all other categories advertised on kids stations. The first column displays the percentage split in June 2011 and the second in November 2011, demonstrating the contrast between summer and autumn periods and the reliance on non toy products by key TV suppliers in summer and off season months.


In June 2011 the majority of TVRs delivered on kids stations were from advertisers outside of the toys and games market. ITV Breakfast was the station with the highest per cent of TVRs delivered by the toys and games category.
