Reruns Ratings (overnights from Zap2It.com
What does it mean? Well, the
"total viewers" figure comes from Nielsen's people-meter service, an "invite
only" way of sampling who watches what in the U.S. They pick only
a small number of households as their sample set and find out things like
how many tv sets are in the house, who watches, and when they watch.
So if you're a 2 tv set household and during the "Lone Gunmen Show" (boy,
my bias is showing, isn't it?) the meter shows that you're busy drooling
over Langly or Byers or Frohike or Jimmy (yeah, my bias IS showing) or
Yves (sorry... but I'm a girl. I know what I drool over, eh?), their
"black boxes" will record this.
(so if you're a Nielsen household
member, then ya might wanna run around and make sure ALL your tv sets are
tuned to Lone Gunmen during that hour.)
Ratings are calculated from the statistical
data given by the boxes attached to the TV set. If the sample shows
that 10% of the households are watching a show, it will have a rating of
"10" points. By the way, since they estimate there are 102.2 million
TV sets in US households, each each ratings point equals 1,022,000 households.
Share equals percentage of TV sets
in use.
