GLOSSARY A WORD FROM BETH WALSH Rating or AA (Average Audience) Percent of all TV households (or persons) watching during an average minute of a program or time period. Cume or Reach Total TV households (or persons) tuned for at least 6 minutes during a program or time period. Each household or person is counted only once. Live+7 Includes all playback on a DVR within 7 days of the program feed or original time period. New Viewers Viewers of a program who had not watched any in the previous four weeks in primetime. Loyal Viewers Viewers are divided into five equal groups according to their time spent viewing. The top 20%, who watch the most, are called Loyal Viewers. Super Loyal Viewers are a subset of Loyals, or of viewers. Light Viewers are the bottom 80% of viewers. Prime time rating the prime time rating includes tuning to all stations during an average minute from Monday-Sunday 8-11 PM, (including multi-cast stations and all Live+7 viewing) Rating Point Each household rating point represents 1,142,000 households.

Recognizing the value of strategic audience understanding and the importance of cultivating system-wide literacy with respect to audience measurement, CPB also sponsored the Audience Insight project. Each May since then, Research has published a user-friendly review of the first half of the primetime broadcast season-todate and has presented the results of its special analyses at concurrent sessions during the annual meeting and webinars thereafter. In January of this year, the Audience Insight team was able to publish its first annual full season report on the performance of the General Audience NPS. This Audience Insight work and full time Nielsen measurement generally has informed content, scheduling, and promotion strategy. For example, using the knowledge gained since the project s inception, has been able to build stronger nights that benefit from being organized around genres and program affinities. Local station executives have been able to use the data to tell the compelling story of public television s reach, and local programmers have been able to use the analysis to inform the decisions they make about how to build and promote their schedules on the foundation of the primetime NPS. The present booklet continues to deliver on the promise of Audience Insight. As in previous editions, we provide an overview of the ratings performance of night-by-night, hour-by-hour, and in comparison to other networks with whom we compete for viewer time and attention. We also profile the composition of our audience, overall and series-by-series, with a view to understanding where we are strongest and where we have the greatest opportunities for growth going forward. Among the highlights: In the 2012-13 season, s primetime rating is up over last season at this time. Thus far this season, no other major broadcast network has posted gains in their primetime household ratings. ranks 9th in primetime ratings among all broadcast and cable networks well ahead of many popular cable channels including Discovery, Animal Planet, AMC, HBO, HGTV, and Bravo and up from last year, with History and TNT having moved below us in the ranker. Primetime ratings are up on five of seven nights, and Sunday nights are up 2 over the 2010-2011 broadcast season. This year, we re especially pleased to have enhanced our seasonto-date report with our first genuine trend analysis: With three full seasons of full-time Nielsen now under our belts, it is now possible to generate a more accurate picture of the gains and losses which define our ratings performance. Also new in this year s edition are the results of our first efforts to approximate a Nielsen measure of member viewing and enhanced reporting on the effectiveness of our pop-out events in reaching new viewers. It is from these new analyses that we ve learned: s pop-outs for the 2012-2013 season-to-date succeeded in their objective of bringing in millions of viewers, with more than 24 million people watching Downton Abbey Season 3, and more than 17 million tuning in for Ken Burns Dust Bowl. Heavy usage of our primetime service doesn t necessarily translate into greater likelihood to support one s local station. While the concentration of members is indeed greatest in our heaviest viewing group (The Loyals), it is only marginally greater than the concentration of members in all other viewing segments, even the lightest ones. My team in Research, CPB and our partners at City Square Associates who assist us in the Audience Insight project, hope you will find the information in this booklet useful and welcome your feedback, questions, and suggestions.

However, since also subscribes to MRI s Survey of the American Consumer, and respondents in this survey are asked whether they have made a contribution to within the previous twelve months, it is possible to get an approximate measure of members viewing behavior though a statistical method called data fusion. Research has been testing this method on data coming from a nine-month period January to September 2012 primetime. Preliminary results are illustrated here. WHAT DO THEY WATCH?

Washington Week and Need to Know also saw improvements among persons 65+ and Hispanic households, and Washington Week had overall household rating gains, driven perhaps by stronger viewer interest during an election year. M4 T he News & Public Affairs genre on includes the nightly NewsHour, as well as the weekly series Frontline, Washington Week, and Need to Know. Also impacted by the recent election was Frontline, whose highest-rated episode this season-to-date was The Choice 2012. Not far behind was Raising Adam Lanza, which aired as part of the After Newtown week. Across all ongoing series season-to-date, Frontline has the highest proportion of adults 18-39, at 1 of the audience. In addition to Frontline s Raising Adam Lanza, the After Newtown week of specials also included NOVA s Mind of a Serial Killer, After Newtown: Guns in America, Path to Violence, and special features within Need to Know and NewsHour.
