...or dont tune in and not contribute towards their ratings.

...or dont tune in and not contribute towards their ratings.

or don't tune in, and watch something more intelligible... such as Futurama, Mythbusters or anything else.

[Dohmar]

...or dont tune in and not contribute towards their ratings.

the ratings are only based upon random calls to homes which arent on the 'do not call' list

that said, if those f**kers called me (and they wont, cos im on the do not call list) theres no way i'd admit to watching that shit, even if i did

*sigh* how retarded are tv execs to rely on such prehistoric surveys

-D

I have never heard of this in my life.

So, when they say Masterchef was watched by 2+ million people... They actually rang 2+ million people and asked if they were watching it?!

No

They base the answers upon a median sample set and extrapolate the "expected number" based upon the percentages given from a sample set.

How else do you think they come up with numbers like "2 million" - do you believe they have little green men sitting in your TV that radios back what u watch?

What Dohmar said ^. I’ve heard there is a predefined sample audience, that is to say people sign up with a company and that company then installs a data collection box that monitors the channels people tune to and sends that data back via the phone line. I know this company Nielsen does what is called ‘Television Audience Measurement’. I have TiVo in my house and I believe it also monitors channels that are watched and reports back via its network connection to the TiVo severs. Also Today Tonight is a terrible show

yeah i know that foxtel has built in meters but I reckon it'd be harder with free to air (unless like you say they have a 3rd party addon box - which to be frank I've never seen/heard of but would certainly make sense)....

has anyone noticed that today tonight always use interstate footage in hoon stories or real estate scams, misleading rubbish it is

Measuring ratings

Television ratings are gathered in one of two ways:

1. Viewer "diaries", in which a target audience self-records its viewing or listening habits. By targeting various demographics, the assembled statistical models provide a rendering of the audiences of any given show, network, and programming hour.

2. A more technologically sophisticated system uses Set Meters, which are small devices connected to televisions in selected homes. These devices gather the viewing habits of the home and transmit the information nightly to Nielsen through a "Home Unit" connected to a phone line. The technology-based home unit system is meant to allow market researchers to study television viewing habits on a minute to minute basis, seeing the exact moment viewers change channels or turn off their TV. In addition to set meters, individual viewer reporting devices, such as people meters, have allowed the company to separate household viewing information into various demographic groups, but so far Nielsen has refused to change its distribution of data of ethnic groups into subgroups, which could give more targeted information to networks and advertisers.

Don't forget the footage they use of video's from Japan haha! There's been numerous segments of them using footage from drifting, etc from Japan and claiming it's in Adelaide's streets/hills.

you never know what theyll do next. a few years back it was on monkey bikes and general motorbike riders (not legally) and now they moved onto cars. in a year or so theyll find something different.

just dont drive like a maniac.. cos that shows the TT viewers that TT is right on the money.

[RBSil80]
