Vividata is the amalgamated organization of NADbank and Print Measurement Bureau (PMB).

The study covers Vividata’s 12-month major market rolling database from January 2016 to December 2016, and small market rolling database from January 2015 to December 2016. The Vividata 2016 Q4 study is a single-source survey that provides cross-platform audience measurement for 63 consumer magazines and 72 daily newspapers. The annual national sample of 43,400 Canadians (age 12+) surveyed across 48 markets, is released quarterly as rolling 12-month data.

Due to significant changes to digital readership questions at the beginning of 2016, true comparisons will not be available until the Vividata 2017 Q1 study.
