TG4 setting up viewer panel

NUI Galway and TG4 have launched Fios Físe, a joint research project which will establish a Viewer Panel for TG4. The panel will seek to capture the TG4 viewing habits and preferences of Irish speakers.

Panel membership, aimed at Irish speakers inside and outside An Ghaeltacht, in the Republic and in the North of Ireland, will ask panel members to fill in an online ‘Viewing Diary’ once a week.

If you are a fluent Irish speaker, over 15 years of age, and you would like to share your thoughts and experiences of TG4, contact us on eolas@fiosfise.ie

 What is expected of viewers who sign up?

Panel members will be sent an email every Monday with a link to a Viewing Diary which can be filled in online.

The Diary will ask questions about the TG4 schedule of the previous week (Monday to Sunday)

A short multiple-choice questionnaire will assess your views on any programme you watched in the previous week, and will allow you to add comments if you so wish.

The first Viewing Diary will be available on the 16 December 2013.

The Viewing Diary must be filled in by 5pm on the Tuesday of each week surveyed.

Panel members can opt out at any stage they wish to do so.

Loyalty Scheme

TG4, to show their appreciation to participating viewers, will have a draw at the end of each month for all viewers that return four completed weekly Viewing Diaries. There will be one prize of €500 and five prizes of €100 each month for the winning  respondents.  

Data Protection

Viewers’ personal information will be securely stored and will not be shared with any third party. No information which could identify any individual will be published in any report arising from the viewing diairies and viewers opinions. Information published arising from the viewers’ panel will be anonymous and based on analysis of all viewers’ viewing patterns.
