Who Won The Night

How do I read these ratings?

A Nielsen rating may look like this:

8pm - NBC - TVgasm The TV Show - 10.0/18

Focus on the 10.0/18. The RATING, 10.0, on the left represents the actual number of households that watched a show. One rating point equals 1,102,000 households. The SHARE, 18, on the right represents the show's proportion of the total households watching television at that time.

For example, TVgasms TV Show has a 10 rating/18 share. That means 11,020,000 households are tuned in to the show and 18% of all the households with a TV turned on are watching that show.

Ratings and Share are customarily broken down for various DEMOs -- a demographic grouping of viewers, like 18-49 adults or 2-12 children or 18-34 women, etc. Advertisers, and therefore networks, covet the 18-49 adult demo, and so tend to concentrate on that number.

As you might know, I help my bud, Madeyoulaugh, with some web programming and it has taken a lot of my time. As a result, I have spent less time on the ratings the past couple of weeks, but that should change in a couple of weeks or so, when I finish doing some things with a few of the sites that I'm working on. No worries, I'll be back to my old self soon. Just give me a little bit of more time :-) Thanks for asking though, it's nice to know that someone noticed the change. :-)
