I’d really like to know more about the Appreciation Index specifically for The Archers as referred to on the blog
our Appreciation Index (a measure of how much people like the programme) remains high and stableÂ
For how long has this Index been measured and how is the data gathered?
Thanks, Fi

Hi Fi
There's a bit more info about the Appreciation Index online:
The Index has been running since 2006.

I sincerely believe that Wiki is mankind's greatest achievement.
that was very interesting.
So, the average AI for radio is 80 and 60 is regarded as poor.
I wonder what the rating for TA is? Achieving a rating of 80 could be described both as "high" and "average" at the same time, I think.

Thank you Tayler and Hedges.
So, according to the Wiki article, it seems there is an actual Appreciation Index for individual programmes.
Would it be possible for us to know The Archers index for recent times?

Hi Fi
I'll ask but as far as I know it's not published.
Tayler
Then how did the Blog arrive at the statement
"our Appreciation Index (a measure of how much people like the programme) remains high and stable "

I think perhaps Tayler means it is published to "those that need to know", but not in the public domain. But I may be wrong; it has been known.
But, if it is high and stable, why not shout it from the rooftops and get a round of doubles in?

Not a good precedent in TA; going on rooftops.
If the numbers are revealed peeps will want them every time.
EVEN WHEN THEY ARE BAD
As Ö÷²¥´óÐã employee Eric Blair would have explained, this would be ungood for us.

But they could easily make up figures and just /say/ that their Appreciation Index is up and happy!
Why should we believe statements such as this? And why publish Secrets on a blog, if you cannot verify them?
"High" is essentially meaningless in this context - for what does "high" actually mean, when by the AI standards a score of 80 is merely average?
If the AI was 70, while this could be called "high" in general terms, it is *below average* in AI terms.
Tayler, could you please ask Keri if "high" in this case means significantly above the AI average rating of 80?
thank you
