The graph depicts the percentage of the UK population aged over 4 who engaged with television and radio at different times from October to December 1992.
Overall, television viewing was most common in the evening, whereas radio listening was more common in the morning.
In the morning, radio listening experienced a significant rise starting from 6:00 AM, peaking at around 8:00 AM with approximately 25% of the population tuning in. Following this peak, the proportion of radio listeners gradually declined, reaching its lowest level near 6:00 PM before experiencing a slight increase later in the evening.
Conversely, television viewers remained low in the morning, below 10% until about noon. Views increased progressively throughout the afternoon, peaking at nearly 50% around 8:00 PM. After 8:00 PM, television viewership fell sharply, continuing to drop after 10:00 PM and into the early hours of the following day.
In summary, television was predominantly watched in the evening, especially during peak hours, while radio was predominantly listened to in the morning. These observations highlight distinct patterns in media consumption throughout the day.
