  13. Media Objectives, Strategies and Planning Reach (Cume) • The number of different or unduplicated households or persons that are exposed to a television program or commercial at least once during the average week for a reported time period. During the course of the schedule illustrated, seven different households were exposed to the spot at least once. Since each home represents 10 % of the universe, this makes the reach or cume 70%.

  14. Media Objectives, Strategies and Planning Frequency • Average number of times a household or a person viewed a given television program, station or commercial during a specific time period.

  15. Media Objectives, Strategies and Planning Continuity/Continuous Schedule • Advertising runs steadily and varies little. Compare with: • Flighting and Pulsing with scheduling

  16. Media Objectives, Strategies and Planning • Rating (RTG or %): • The estimate of the size of a television audience relative to the total universe, expressed as a percentage. The estimated percent of all TV households or persons tuned to a specific station. In the example, three of the 10 homes in the universe are tuned to channel 2. That translates to a 30 rating.

  17. Media Objectives, Strategies and Planning • RATING =   households tuned in to a given program                             all households with television • SHARE =       households tuned in to a given program                           all households tuned in to TV at that time (HUT)(more simply: share measures the percentage of all TV sets in use watching a particular program)Here's an example: Your show is aired in a market that has 1 million television househo2lds; 400,000 are tuned in to you. Therefore:400,0001,000,000 =    .40, or a rating of 40At the time your show airs, however, there are only 800,000 households using television. Therefore, your share of the available audience isShare =        400,000                      800,000    = .50, or a rating of 50If you can explain why a specific program's share is always higher than its rating, then you understand the difference between the two.
