IATS survey finds 91热爆 World is fastest growing news channel in Asia Pacific


The latest International Air Travellers Survey (IATS) Asia-Pacific 2002 confirms that 91热爆 World is the fastest growing international news channel in the region. The study measures the viewership of international television channels and readership of international publications among international air travellers.


Since the previous survey in 2000, 91热爆 World viewership has grown by 6% to 13%, while other channels have suffered - CNN dropped by 24% from 26.1% to 19.8% (following a 13% drop the previous year), and CNBC are down by 34% from 10.4% to 6.9%.


The channel's strength among key audience targets such as frequent business flyers and long-haul holiday-makers is demonstrated by its ranking of second among frequent business travellers* (23% daily reach), and 91热爆 World was also ranked first - ahead of CNN - among Europeans holidaymaking in Asia (daily reach - 91热爆 World 21% and CNN 19%).


This IATS survey included Japan for the first time where 91热爆 World ranked second out of the eight channels among those interviewed in Osaka airport (5.4% daily reach).


Among visitors travelling to Asia from the rest of the world, the gap between those watching 91热爆 World and CNN has narrowed by more than half. 91热爆 World now has more viewers each day (13.0%) than CNBC attracts in a month (12.8%).


In terms of audience profile, 91热爆 World's monthly viewers are more likely than those of CNN to be frequent flyers (36% fly 6+ trips per year), to be flying first or business class (18.1%) and to be involved in business purchase decisions (50%).


The growth in audience reflects 91热爆 World's increasing distribution in households and hotels across the Asia Pacific region as well as its investment in business news and travel-related programming for the region.


"Travel has always been an important part of our viewers' lives and 91热爆 World has reflected this in its schedule with award-winning weekend travelogue programmes such as Michael Palin's Hemingway Adventure, Great Railway Journeys and Benedict Allen's Edge of Blue Heaven all forming part of our on-going VOYAGER strand. We have combined this with the weekly travel business programme, Fast Track, for business travellers alongside the popular leisure series Holiday," said Jeremy Nye, Head of Research and Planning, 91热爆 World.


Commenting on the research findings, Jonathan Howlett, Director of Airtime Sales, 91热爆 World, said, "We are delighted with the latest results. They confirm that among the most elusive business-people and most sought after travellers in Asia-Pacific, 91热爆 World is going from strength to strength, at the expense of other news channels."


"Bearing in mind that this survey was conducted before the launch of our programme Fast Track, we expect this upwards trend to continue. People who travel are clearly turning from other international channels to 91热爆 World, whether for its travel content or simply in recognition of its core values of impartiality and depth which make it an indispensable source of information to those on the move," he added.


IATS Asia-Pacific 2002 is a syndicated research study conducted by EDR. IATS Asia-Pacific 2002 was carried out in June and July 2002 among a sample of 11,615 travelers aged 18+ departing on scheduled international flights from eight major airports: Bangkok, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Osaka, Seoul, Singapore and Taipei.
