How does ratings even work? What's the range? I can never tell what's doing well and what's not. Do the numbers signify millions of viewers or something?
It's a percentage of households. So for example this one had a rating of 6.4 means that out of all the households that have tvs, 6.4% of those households were watching/tuned into Raed.
People always poo poo the ratings when it doesn't favor their show, but they are the source of revenue for tv shows/channels. Advertisers pay the channel based on the ratings. They buy commercial airtime during whatever show. If a certain show had a higher ratings, it means that the advertisers are paying more to air their 30 second commercial during that time vs some other time with a lower rating. This is the simplest explanation.
So yeah all the arguments about but this and this was the number 1 show on Pantip, twitter or Instagram means diddly squat in terms of making money and we all know money is what makes the ET world go round.
I'm just catching up on this and so far I'm liking this one the best but I have to say I skipped Krating. Andrew is so funny and it's a natural kind of funny. It doesn't come off like trying too hard. I like Pan too. I don't think they have the best chemistry but it works well enough.
