Study of the TV audience in Ukraine
Since 2014, the Nielsen Company has been a TV panel operator in Ukraine, providing research into the preferences of TV viewers. The data obtained from the research panel Nielsen, together with the data of the Communication Alliance, is the basis for determining the TV ratings in Ukraine by the Industrial Television Committee (ITC), which it provides to the market.
Also, since the middle of 2012, a special study aimed at clarifying information about the availability of television equipment and the possibility of receiving television channels in the general population, clarifying the socio-demographic characteristics of television viewers and extrapolating the size of the TV audience of Ukraine, and which is a source of information for the needs of TV panels, carried out by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology.
We’ve been measuring what people view, buy and listen to for decades.
We began measuring radio audiences in 1942 and began measuring television audiences in 1950. Much of our data comes directly from the consumers themselves – participants in the Nielsen television panel. Participating households are the basis of the reliability of our information.
The opinions and experiences of participants in all Nielsen panels, including the TV panel, broaden our view of the market and ensure that our research accurately reflects the consumer and media habits of the Ukrainian population.
You may be, or have already been, invited to participate in a Nielsen study, and we encourage you to accept our invitation.
What are television ratings?
Many people are familiar with the Nielsen television ratings. TV ratings play a significant role because they tell the media and advertising communities how many people watched a particular program โ key information for everyone from brands and advertisers to television networks.
Television rating is the percentage of a specific population group that watched a certain piece of television content or advertising. In the television industry, this can be anything from a comedy or sports program to prime-time news.

Reviews of participants of the nielsen television panel
Yulia, 32 years old: “At first I thought that research would take a lot of time, especially since I hardly watch TV. After meeting with representatives of the Nielsen company, I realized that all I need to do is press the button on the remote control when turning on the TV. I have been participating in the program for more than a year, I am satisfied with the cooperation and the gifts that I receive every six months.”
Yuriy, 43 years old: “I immediately agreed to participate, I have known about the company for a long time, that it is represented in many countries of the world. My relatives in Germany have repeatedly told me about such research, which is being conducted to improve the ether.”
Kateryna, 78 years old: “I am very satisfied with my participation, although at first I took the offer to participate in the research not seriously. I thought that it was only for young people and that my opinion was not interesting to anyone and would not affect anything. During 8 months of participation in the research, I was convinced that this is not a problem for me. The girls who call me from the company are very polite, always help to solve any question, congratulate me on all holidays, and also send gifts every six months. My family now eats bread made in their own bread machine (a gift from the company).”
