Percentages of radio and television audiences


The given lines present the percentages of radio and television audiences over four years old in the UK from October to December 1992. Here, time of day or night is presented horizontally and percentages of population vertically. As is observed, radio and television audiences showed almost the opposite trend having showed a great variation in different times of day or night.
The bold graph here presents television audiences throughout the day. It shows that the percentage was zero in the early morning. But it gradually increased up to ten percent at 8.00 A. M. and remained almost the same with fluctuations up to 4. Then, the line went up very fast and attained its peak point, which was about fifty percent at around eight P. M. After that, the graph fell down pointedly and at four PM the percentage was below five percent, which was the lowest point. Then again a slow upward trend was observed.
On the other hand, the thinner graph describes the percentages of radio audiences. Unlike television, it started from just under ten percent and at eight A. M. attained the peak percentage amounting about 30%. After that, it gradually fell up to 4 P. M. intersecting the bold graph at around one P. M. However, a slight upward trend in the percentages was observed from four to six P. M.
As is observed, Television was much more popular than radio having the highest number of audiences summing almost 50 percent. The percentage is almost twice as much as Radio has. However, both the radio and Television had equal number of audiences at around 12 A. M. at which the two lines intersect each other.
In conclusion, it is clear from the lines that radio was very popular among the audiences in the early morning, on the other hand television got its highest percentage of onlookers in the evening.
