Nielsen Fast Nationals From Tuesday, June 26, 2007

Tuesday night’s ratings. NBC comes in first and second with America’s Got Talent having 4.3/12 and 3.6/12 in the 8 o’clock hour. Not far behind in third was NBC’s Law and Order: SVU having 2.7/8. Coming in forth was ABC’s Primetime: Family Secrets (premiere) having 2.0/6. Although you could say that FOX with House having 2.5/7 came in forth, but it was repeat. I don’t count repeats. I report them, but I don’t count them.

No charts but what do you guys think of all the data being thrown at you, stick around after the jump. . .

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.
