	Nielsen Ratings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nielsen Television Ratings statistics are gathered in two ways: one is by extensive use of surveys, where viewers in various demographics are asked to keep a written record (called a diary) of the television programming they watch throughout the day and evening.
		Television ratings are not an exact science, but they are a powerful force in determining the programming in an industry where millions of dollars are at stake every day.
		Much of the ratings system, however, still consists of the completion by viewers of ratings diaries, in which a viewer records his or her viewing habits, generally for a week, in exchange for being advanced a nominal fee.

		Claims that ratings antennae of commercial television are on constant alert to catch any perceptible change in public preference and that much of the effort, energy and creativity of the media industry are spent for pleasing audience in a fiercely competitive environment are inapplicable to the public broadcasting.
		By providing a rating system, the television industry is in fact neither clearing themselves from responsibility for what they air nor solving the issue that children are exposed to programs they are not supposed to watch and parents mostly don't control (or don’t want to control) what their children watch.
		Television program policy in its perversion is concerned primarily with the social evils of particular sex and violence patterns such sex is claimed dirty; then, the programs occupy themselves with sex and violence for the sake of dirt.

	Nielsen Media Research - What TV Ratings Really Mean (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Ratings numbers which you may have seen are the average audience rating, or the percent tuned to a particular program during the average minute.
		So when the NielsenTV ratings report that a show is "top ranked" for the week, we are saying that this is the show which was watched by more people than anything else on any channel at any time during the week.
		To measure the audiences for local television, Nielsen Media Research gathers viewing information using TV diaries, booklets in which samples of viewers record their television viewing during a measurement week.

	Television Rating Systems
		A forerunner for television ratings was a study, sponsored by the cable TV industry, on the effects of violence on children.
		The ratings are usually displayed in the TV guide and at the start of a show in the upper left hand corner of the TV screen.
		The rating system is voluntary and the network or producer of each show is the one that decides on a program's rating.

	PBS: LOCAL NEWS - The Ratings Game
		A television rating is simply the number of households or persons tuned into a particular television program at a given point in time.
		And so, the Nielsen ratings are the most important factor in deciding what shows get aired, when they are shown, and what will be advertised in that time slot.
		Nielsen Media Research conducts individual station ratings about three times a year during the "sweeps" months of November, February, and May. During these periods, the performance of the 250 local television markets in the U.S. is thoroughly researched.

	Protecting Children from Harmful Television: TV Ratings and the V-chip
		More specifically, this paper will briefly describe the history and development of television ratings, discuss three of the major problems associated with television ratings, and then finally point out some of the other methods that are available to help parents cope with the presence of television in their children's lives.
		For example, the parents were asked if they would prefer a television rating system that indicated what kind of content was in a program or if they would prefer a system that indicated the age of the child that the program is appropriate for.
		Theoretically speaking, then, the television ratings provide one way for parents to protect their children from witnessing what parents judge to be potentially harmful television.

	The Television Ratings System
		The ratings system required by the US Federal Communications Commission was first put into use in January 1997 by cable and broadcast television, with all shows bearing a rating in the upper left-hand corner, except for news telecasts.
		This system is used with the new V-Chip control device, which, according to who you ask, can be a way for parents to either keep their kids safe, or could be the beginnings of government censorship. Again, this is all according to who you ask.
		As an extension, the television industry, interest groups, and other government gurus have accepted a new content rating letter to go along with TV-x (x is any rating), accepted by most networks at the addition's inception. The extra content letters were instituted starting the Fall 1997 TV season.

		To TV ratings, one of those media issues that completely galvanises one group of people while others may tend to feel their eyes glaze over.
		The annual television advertising budget in Australia is in the order of $2-1/2-billion which is why there's been such a prolonged debate about the new ratings system which basically hasn't delivered what the networks want to hear, especially the Nine Network, that is, more people are watching TV.
		Ian Garland: I guess the core of the problem has been that the ratings as reported in the mainstream press have reported both remarkable decrease in the total number of people viewing TV and to a lesser extent the issues of the changing fortunes of individual TV stations.

	Howstuffworks "How do television ratings work? How do they figure out how many people are watching a show?"
		In the U.S., the term "TV ratings" immediately makes people think of "Nielsen" because Nielsen Media Research has become the de facto national measurement service for the television industry in the United States and Canada.
		Small boxes, placed near the TV sets of those in the national sample, measure who is watching by giving each member of the household a button to turn on and off to show when he or she begins and ends viewing.
		The sample is also compared to the general population, and at times Nielsen calls thousands of households to see if their TV sets are on and who is watching.

	NASCAR - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Finally, in 1979, the Daytona 500 became the first stock car race that was nationally televised from flag to flag on CBS.
		The adjustment of front and rear aerodynamic downforce, spring rates, rear track bar geometry, and brake proportioning are critical to the cornering characteristics of the cars.
		Interestingly, the rate of fuel consumption tends to be the same regardless of the actual speeds of the cars, as teams change gear ratios for each race to ensure that the engine always operates in its optimum power band; however, the fuel mileage will vary for each race, depending on the maximum speeds attained.
