Screen Digest analysis indicates that at least 130m free DVDs were distributed by national newspapers in the UK in 2005 alone. By comparison 211m units were sold through mainstream retail channels in the UK. And the pace is accelerating. In first quarter 2006 DVD volume sales through official channels actually declined slightly over the previous year, to 54m units - almost exactly the same number of discs as were given away by the papers. Around 80 per cent of these are retained by recipients, the equivalent of more than five free DVDs per UK DVD household.
