7. Revised Card Sort Procedure

   From January 2005, the card sort procedure that is used to establish respondents’ repertoires has been amended. Respondents are presented with a single pack of station cards, each consisting of a station name and its delivery platforms. From January 2005, these details are printed on green card for stations available via analogue and yellow card for those services which only broadcast via digital platforms.

   Respondents are asked to sort through the cards three times; firstly taking all cards together, secondly using only the green cards consisting of stations available on analogue, and thirdly using the exclusively digital stations.

   This method has been devised to enable respondents’ repertoires to be clearly established given the increase in stations measured by RAJAR.
