Music and teenagers

Teenagers listen to a lot of music, mostly whilst doing something else (like traveling or using a computer). This makes it hard to get an idea of the proportion of their time that is spent listening to music.

They are very reluctant to pay for it (most never having bought a CD) and a large majority (8/10) downloading it illegally from file sharing sites. Legal ways to get free music that teenagers use are to listen to the radio, watch music TV channels (not very popular, as these usually play music at certain times, which is not always when teenagers are watching) and use music streaming websites (as I mentioned previously).

Almost all teenagers like to have a ‘hard copy’ of the song (a file of the song that they can keep on their computer and use at will) so that they can transfer it to portable music players and share it with friends.

How teenagers play their music while on the go varies, and usually dependent on wealth –with teenagers from higher income families using iPods and those from lower income families using mobile phones. Some teenagers use both to listen to music, and there are always exceptions to the rule. A number of people use the music service iTunes (usually in conjunction with iPods) to acquire their music (legally) but again this is unpopular with many teenagers because of the ‘high price’ (79p per song). Some teenagers use a combination of sources to obtain music, because sometimes the sound quality is better on streaming sites but they cannot use these sites whilst offline, so they would download a song then listen to it on music streaming sites (separate from the file).

Sometimes, watching live music is the best experiences for teenagers. They are willing to get US AIRWAYS CENTER TICKETS, Comfort Dental Amphitheatre TICKETS, COORS FIELD TICKETS to experience live musics and sports.

Urban’s entertainment’s trends

Urbanites are very much into TV with 69% liking or loving watching TV and 40% of Urbanites having 3 or more TVs in their household.

Urbanites say they watch 16 hours 40 minutes of TV per week on average which is less than the average TV viewer. This comes as no surprise bearing in mind Urbanites are highly likely to spend more time out-of-home fulflling their busy working and social lives.

Nearly all Urbanites have a multi-channel TV service at home with only 5% living in a terrestrial-only household (versus an 8% UK average). Urbanites’ most common TV provider for the main TV in their household is Freeview (35%), Sky (34%) and Virgin Media (21%). available at DIRECT TV services

4 in 10 Urbanites with a TV at home have a high defnition TV set. Although only 1 in 10 of these Urbanites currently has a subscription to an HD TV service such like DIRECTTV.

6 in 10 Urbanites with a TV have a personal video recorder (PVR) at home, giving them the ability to pause live TV and fast forward through ad breaks when watching a programme on playback.

BBC1 and Channel 4 are Urbanites’ most-watched TV channels. E4 is the most-watched digital channel for both male and female Urbanites, but they differ on their next digital channel favourites.  Dave and Sky Sports 1 rank second and third most-watched digital channels amongst male Urbanites with BBC3 and ITV2 taking those places for female Urbanites. Watch them on DIRECTV.

Urbanites primarily want to be entertained by the TV but also like to be informed; comedy and flm are Urbanites’ favourite types of TV programme (80% liking/loving them) followed by documentaries and the news.

29% of Urbanites say they always/very often browse the internet whilst watching TV, which is the top other type of media consumed whilst watching TV, above reading a second and third. Urbanites are also guilty of watching TV whilst eating a meal, with 50% of Urbanites always/very often doing so.

Just under half of Urbanites (48%) have used an online TV catch-up service, like the BBC’s iPlayer. 3 in 10 Urbanites say they are likely to watch more TV online in the next 6 months.
