1998 Daytime Nielsen Ratings

Return to Index.

The first number is the ratings point. Each point equals 980,000 homes (1% of all television households). The second figure represents the share, or percentage of televisions actually turned on that are tuned into a particular program.

The demographics are listed after the household rating. Demographics count the number of female viewers from ages 18-49 (the most important group for advertisers buying commercial airtime). If a set of numbers reads 4.2/14--3.2/21, the 4.2 is the household rating, and the 3.2 is the demographic rating.
