Re: DVR and Ratings

(Anonymous) 2013-11-22 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
It depends on the system, and sometimes it counts a bit, but mostly not much.

The reason it doesn't count is because the fundamental function of ratings is not really to figure out how many people are watching a show, it's to figure out how many people are watching the ads, and therefore how much the ads are worth. And people watching DVRs usually don't watch the ads. So TV execs just kind of don't really care if people are watching on DVR.

This is actually changing somewhat, as are some of the ways that shows are funded and financial models, but it's still mostly true for broadcast shows especially.
