audience figures.. "4.8 million people watched Big Brother last night" how the @*^x do they know how many people are watching telly and more importantly , which CHANNEL they are watching ? it sounds suspect to me, but you get these 'golden' figures in the papers. They make it up right ? its bugging me thats all :) |

i have often wondered about that question and i still dont know the answer....its strange...ive heard that they call people but noone has ever called me??!?!?!?!?!?!??!?! |
||||||||

I think it's still based on how many households with "ratings boxes" watched a particular show. |

||||||||
|

ratings boxes ? so if 2 out of 10 people with 'ratings boxes' watched TV , thats 20% , or 10 million right ? how fucking scientific ! how come they're so accurate though ? the one in radio times has 2.28 million / 3.76 million etc .... thats all just anotated then ? hmmm... |

No, its is the boxes. People sign up I think and their viewing habits are monitored. They've got them specially located all over hte country to make it even and different ethnic minorities etc |
||||||||

|
|
so its like the pre-election polls then... only a tiny minority are monitored and then they assume evryone else is following suit... well thats crap. I won't believe them again. |

i saw it on a program a while ago, but they i thort it was like a pilot scheme. |

i thought there was a way they new when a television was opened at their channel (dont know how though), and then they multiplied the number of tvs opened at their channel by x, x being the average number of persons watching one tv (should be like 1.5-2). it's just a guess. |

|
haven't you ever had someone ring you up or bang on your door demanding to know what channel you're watching? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no neither have i they probably just make it up like everyone else |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
cos it is actually me, cos i live in a big house with 17 million televisions and people monitor what i watch on each telly: also each telly is monitered by a person so i have a household of 17000001 people and that is why they say how many veiwers there are rather than how many of each channel i am watching... |

I actually had one of those boxes on my tv for awhile, for neilson television ratings. it was just a thing you put on your tv, and you punch in who is watching, and it records who is watching what at what hour, etc. no harm done. |
