Broadcasters' Audience Research Board

What is BARB?

It looks at how many views programs get and they send it off to all the different companies and all the different people that make Tv programs.

How does BARB help TV channels?

BARB helps TV channels as they can find out what programs are being watched the most so they can dicide what channels to show and when e.g you don’t want to have the Xfactor on at the same time of the Voice because that makes people choose which on to watch.
