How the hell do people calculate TV rating??
Anyone wondered how TV channels know hoe many people watch their shows? Like they would say 13.5 mill people watch a specific show last nigh. How the hell do they go about getting that #? Its not like there is a stats system or something.

There is a period every season when some users get paid by filling form of their everyday tv use too. At least it's like that in canada.

 I think they track it so that they can drop channels that people dont watch and replace them with better channels. If it wasnt for that we would end up with crappy channels. |

In Australia, you can get a box that monitors your tv usage.
Neat. |
