Re: Who cares but the Major players $$$

There are "ratings" that they go by. It's more about how many people are watching that channel in a given market at a given time. Not about who is going to buy what, but just the overall number of people watching. It would change the game a little bit though.

The Nielsen Ratings do not factor in any time shifted viewing so this point is meaningless.

What exactly is "time shifted viewing"? People using DVR's? If that's what you mean, then of course it doesn't. There is no way to track that with all of the mediums we have currently. But those "ratings" ARE what advertisers work off of.

That's the whole point.

Of course they do. They have ratiings for Live+same day, Live+ 1 day, out to Live + 7 days. They even list how much a ratings boost a show gets from DVR watching during the following week.
