Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound
This is a question I've long had r/t television show ratings.
I live in the U.S. To my knowledge, unless you are involved in a Nielson (sp) ratings survey, there is no accurate counting of viewers watching a television program. Because I turn my TV on and watch a show, who would know what I am watching?
Presumably it's possible to check/gauge the numbers by tracking the number of hits checking her show out on her site/program/designated channel online (ie CBS/NBC/ etc.).
OR by obseving the number of hits/responses/viewers to any You Tube or similar venue, but not by watching the actual show on my television.
I understand not wanting to give her the viewing ratings when the show is actually aired, but in reality, by watching it on You Tube, etc., wouldn't that be a more accurate indication of interest versus just turning the show on and watching it on your own tv when it is aired?
Someone clarifying this with some accurate and confirmed info on this, not just heresay/speculation/assumption, would be appreciated.
