The line graph shows the percentage of people over the age of four in the UK who watched television or listened to the radio at different times of the day between October and December 1992.
Overall, radio had more listeners in the morning, while television attracted a much larger audience in the evening. Television viewing overtook radio listening in the afternoon and remained dominant until late at night.
In the early hours (6 a.m. to 8 a.m.), radio experienced a sharp increase, peaking at around 27% by 8 a.m. This was the highest point for radio, likely due to people listening while getting ready for work. After that, its audience gradually declined during the rest of the day.
Television, on the other hand, remained low until around 4 p.m., when it began to rise significantly. It reached a peak of nearly 45% between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m., making it the most popular medium during this time. After 10 p.m., television viewing dropped quickly, with both media having low audiences overnight.
