TV Ratings

TV ratings refer to a system of measuring and evaluating the viewership of television programs. This system quantifies how many people are watching a particular show or channel at a given time. TV ratings are usually expressed as a percentage, indicating the share of the total available audience watching a program. They are crucial for television networks and advertisers because they provide insight into audience preferences, helping to guide programming decisions and marketing strategies. Ratings are typically collected by organizations through audience measurement techniques, such as surveys or electronic monitoring devices. These ratings influence not only the scheduling of television shows but also advertising rates, as higher-rated programs can command higher prices for commercial slots.
