TV Commercials-the basics They are produced and aired by how
long they are: normally 15, 30 and 60 seconds
Airtime is sold in bulk- people and companies usually don’t just have their CXs run one or two times
The repetition, TV people will tell you, is the key
The more a CX is shown and seen the more effective it can be
The growth of 15 second commercials

Measuring ViewersThe Nielsen Media Research Way
Ratings and Shares are the numbers used to calculate and compare program viewership
Rating= Number of households watching a program Number of TV households (HH)
Share of Audience= Number of HH watching a program Number of Households Using Television (HUT)
In the U.S. for 2010-11 there are 115.9 million TV households, according to Nielsen
So a rating/share point equals about 1.16 million homes or households (not viewers)
Some current ratings examples See Frequently asked Questions about TV
ratings The Super Bowl Annually Pulls in No. 1 ratings
in U.S.

Nielsen has it critics Nielsen’s research is bought by networks, local
TV/cable stations and advertisers Its findings have long been suspect by critics because
they are based on a small sample group of 5,000 households (out of 100 million+)
These homes have set-top boxes called audimeters that when used properly, record what shows are being watched on all televisions in a home and what age range, or 'demographic' the person watching falls into
During so-called “sweeps weeks” in February, May, July, and November every U.S. TV market is surveyed– the ratings help local stations determine advertising rates
Paper surveys are filled out by volunteers who may– or may not– diligently and accurately complete them daily

Not Perfect- But Needed Despite its flaws, the Nielsen (and for
radio, Arbitron) ratings present useful information at an affordable price to advertisers and to the TV industry
With our large commercial broadcasting systems, some form of the ratings will always be around
More analytics programs are being developed that can help track the effectiveness of advertising messages
