When I post what the ratings are for a particular game, below is a summary of what the ratings mean.
A
share, which is the first number, is the percentage of TV's in use that
is watching a particular game. The last number is the percent of
households watching TV that were tuned into that program.
What's
the difference between a rating and share? The rating reflects the
percentage of the total population of televisions and a share is the
percentage of TV's that were in use.
Last Sunday's late
afternoon NFL game on Fox received a rating of 18.5/36. This means that the share of 18.5 is the percentage of television sets in use tuned to the program.
The 36 is the percentage of households watching TV were tuned into the game during this time slot. What's the difference between rating and
share? The rating reflects the percentage of the total population
of televisions tuned to a particular program while share reflects the
percentage of televisions actually in use.
