The graph illustrates the percentage of the UK population (aged over four) who listened to the radio and watched television at different times of the day between October and December 1992.
The data shows that radio audiences were highest in the morning. The percentage of listeners increased sharply from 6:00 AM, reaching a peak of around 25% at 8:00 AM. After this, the number of listeners gradually declined throughout the day, with minor fluctuations, before dropping significantly in the evening and remaining low overnight.
In contrast, television viewership was low in the morning but started increasing in the afternoon. The audience grew significantly after 4:00 PM and peaked between 6:00 PM and 10:00 PM, with over 50% of the population watching television. After this peak, the number of viewers declined rapidly, reaching very low levels after midnight.
Overall, the graph highlights a clear contrast between radio and television consumption. Radio was most popular in the morning, likely due to people listening while commuting or starting their day, whereas television was most watched in the evening when people relaxed after work or school.
