[Cartierfor3]

it means 80% of the TVs turned on were watching the WS, not 80% of TVs total. OF people watching TV, 4 out of 5 were watching the WS

Is it possible that 90% of the TVs were turned to another channel for 22% of the time (commercials)?

I have no idea. I did change the channel for like 30 seconds to football during a commercial to check on Aaron Rodgers tho.

That didn't explain anything about how it accounts for turning the channel in the middle of a show.

you have to spend a certain amount of time on the same channel for it to receive credit.  on radio it's like 10 or 15 minutes. probably similar for tv.  ratings are still really weirdly calculated

So if you change channels every 9 minutes it would think you are not watching TV at all?

Unless you are one of the 5000 people Nielsen has contacted and set meters up with, nobody is paying attention to your tv.

Yeah, that's what I meant, if one of the 5000 people change their channel every 9 minutes then the Nielsen people think that they are not watching TV.

One time in the early 2000's I got to be a "Nielsen household" and log my TV viewing for a week.  Yes I said log, as in write it down on a sheet they provided.    The sheet was broken down into 15 minute increments IIRC.  They paid me $10 straight cash to do it.

I was this twice in the past year...the 2nd time I was going on a trip and forgot to mail the diary back in...pretty sure I'm blackballed for life now.
