In this graph we can see there is a major increase in any SVCO, as well as the in a short period of time there was a rapid increase in Netflix as well. On the other hadn't we can see that Now TV stayed at a level therefore didn't increase or decrease rapidly.



Your notes are okay, but the really important part of this blog post is missing - analysis of BARB data. This is a key skill required for the exam - you'll need to be able to analyse infographics and graphs. At the bottom of this post, find two pieces of BARB data - infographics/graphs - and write a detailed piece of analysis of each, explain what trends they show and why this might be the case.
