The line chart illustrates the number of radio and television audiences in the United Kingdom and their distribution throughout the day. The x-axis of the graph shows the time of day, whereas the y-axis shows the percentage of audiences above the age of four years old. Overall, the television watchers continue to increase from day to night while radio listeners constantly decrease.
Initially, radio exhibits a higher listenership, with almost 30% of the UK population. Television, in comparison, begins at only under 10%. However, the graph reveals a convergence around 1:00 p.m., with both audiences reaching almost 20% of the citizenry.
Following this point of intersection, their trajectories diverge. Television experiences a sustained growth pattern, culminating in a peak of roughly 50% by 8:00 p.m. Conversely, radio listeners undergo a gradual decline after only 4:00 p.m., with projections indicating an audience under 20% at the same time as television’s peak hour.
In the end, they both reach nearly 0% of the audience after 10 p.m., reflecting their resting schedule.
