2010 Versus TV-ratings are up

[Lousada]

then were this years #'s for Brazil, barber and LB also incorrect?

They never published the ratings for Brazil, Barber and Long Beach as far as I remember. Only the viewerships. It's keyboard jockeys like us that calculated ratings from the published numbers.
If you want continuity in your schedule you need to set Texas at a .45 rating.

why would I set Texas at .45 when the sportjournal that you just said is trustworthy put it at .3?

[SarahFan]

These three numbers are overnights and not finals!

i dont think so

Because you insist on calculating ratings from viewership instead of households. The .3 is the household rating (the real rating!). The .45 is the viewership rating.

I think so. The Toronto number is definately an overnight, you can look that back.
Overnights are calculated over about 77 million homes. .5% of 77 million is 385, or roughly that Long Beach number. While .3% of 77 million is 233 or the St.Pete number. If you reset those numbers to finals, Texas '10 becomes the highest rated Versus race again.

According to you!

[SarahFan]

According to you!

Me?

your the one who changed a published .3 to a .45




I'm simply saying that I find it a little skeptical that a published .3 ratings on VS, which is lower than the previos three races this season, not to mention LB 2009 as well as the same race (texas) as last year produced the the most watched INDYcar race on VS...


from where i sit one of three things is incorrect

A. the 2010 texas rating
B. the 2010 texas Viewer #
C. all the previos #'s from 13 races broadcast on Vs

[SarahFan]

or then there is

D: the author has all the #'s correct, but mistakenly compared the viewer # to the previos household #'s and ran with the incorrect assumption it was the most watched race on Vs

There was a deal like this last year, Texas if I remember right. The ratings number was something like .36, but if you looked at the households it should have been a .63. Or the other way around (can't remember, I've slept since then). Anyway, I think I'd trust the households number more than the mythical "share" but that's just me.
