The networks also tend to charge a greater fee to advertisers that add commercials in shows popular among this age group. This applies equally to the shows with lower ratings than the programs preferred by other age groups. Besides, there is one secondary rating set by The Nielsen Company. Commercial ratings disclose whether the people are watching the commercials or avoiding them by changing the channel and skimming through other shows.
The majority of the advertisers are more concerned about the commercial rating than the market shares or the general rating. This is because the people who do not watch commercial ads carry lesser significance for the advertisers than those who do. Rating is vital to TV networks as it helps them decide the amount of sale time to be allocated to advertisers. In these months, Nielsen provides viewership diaries to millions of family households. Viewers must manually note down the TV programs they watch and give the data to the Nielsen company.
Nielsen ratings do consider the people who recorded a particular TV program. But estimates the ratings based on the assumption that these potential viewers watched the show within three days of recording. Further, most of these people have avoided commercial ads while viewing the program on DVR.

These numbers represent what average people of a certain age and gender watch, which then indicates the number of viewers who probably watch a particular show. Networks use this information to gauge how popular certain shows are, which determines how much they charge companies to advertise during those programs. The Nielsen Company tracks what shows viewers watch on television networks through a representative sampling of about 25, households that let the company record what programs they watch.
This is a fairly small sampling, considering US households with televisions for the viewing season was estimated at almost million, but they choose people based on their ability to represent varied populations. For example, Nielsen might choose a household with adults and children of multiple genders and age groups to better represent more viewers. Every time someone in a Nielsen household turns on a television, he or she indicates which person it is and the box tracks how long the person watches a show.
Each member of a household has his or her viewing habits recorded individually, through indicating who is watching the television at any given time. If multiple people, including guests, view a program, each one enters information about his or her age and gender into the box so that the viewing habits of each person can be tracked. This viewer-specific data sets the information Nielsen records apart from data gathered by a regular cable television box.
And unlike measurement that relies solely on big data sources, our measurement ensures representative coverage across demographics because our panels which form the basis for our Nielsen Families ensure that we capture person-level viewing behavior, not just set top box level viewing.
Being able to measure in a way that fairly represents all races, ages, ethnicities and behaviors is crucial for the industry to transact and analyze with confidence. For additional information about the media landscape and how we measure it, visit our Ratings Academy.
