Andrew Braun, Mobile, Internet and Technology Industry Director, Roy Morgan Research, says:
“Given the adoption of portable internet enabled devices (such as Smartphones and Tablets) and their “anywhere, anytime” access to information, it is not surprising to see this trend emerge.
“This ‘multi-screen’ TV watching environment creates a number of challenges and opportunities for TV stations. Is surfing the net at the expense of TV show engagement or is it part of the engagement model itself?
“Media companies and Advertisers would be wise to better understand the role these portable internet devices play in TV show engagement and advertising effectiveness.”
