That needs updating. Tesco did their survey very soon after the change in the law in 2000.
A good point - they should carry out the survey again to see if there's been a change or not, and if so how dramatic or subtle it is.
Discovery Channel is mostly metric. When it isn't it's usually because the topic is featuring American society (e.g Forensic Detectives).
I must admit I was referring to some programmes by Chris Barry, about engines, planes, lorries etc etc and he quoted in imperial with the odd reference to metric every now and again.
Chris Barry is better known for his role as "Rimmer" in Red Dwarf.
The terrestrial channels, BBC in particular are showing signs of a move toward an increasing use of metric. I should know because I'm old enough to be able to compare it with 30 or more years ago.
Personally I feel like it started to go metric and then moved back towards imperial.
Apart from "Jerry Springer the Opera" the BBC sometimes changes if people complain.
I bring up "Jerry Springer the opera" since they had a record number of complaints for that but did not apologise or anything.
