Just over one third (38%) of British adults use all three. This rises to 42% of men and 63% of those with higher incomes (more than 16330,000 p.a.). The proportion of those who have this combination increases to 54% of those in the 35-44 age group and to half of those who have children compared to 45% of 15 to 24 year olds.

Companies who wish to target this group may be interested to know that broadsheet readership is high with 65% of Financial Times readers, 55% of Guardian readers, 54% Times readers and 53% of The Independent readers using all three of these access platforms.
