2010 Versus TV-ratings are up

I'm suggesting the sbj folks found a ratings # ...took it and did exactly what hundreds of forums memeber do.... Tweaked it, twisted it.... Played with it

And ultimately got it wrong

Personally I don't give a damn about some "share" number based on how many people are watching TV in total or what-not (especially when were still talking about such low number as to be noise). If I were a sponsor, I'd be interested in the ACTUAL number of TV's turned on to the program. And since that appears to be growing (at least for those two races), then I'd be a bit cautiously optimistic about the future of the series.

You're mixing up viewers with households and overnights with finals.

So how many households tuned in to each race? I don't know how they get viewers, since I would think it's an imprecise art to devine how many people are watching each TV. That's why I would think that the number of households should be the most accurate number. But I could be wrong?

I was going off the households numbers that Ken provided on the first page of this thread. But I take it that he now disputes his own numbers?

Pay attention chuck...

Go back and reread the htread ..

I was calling bs from the start

We can debate which numbers are which to the end of time but the fact is.....




0.3 is a Horrible rating. Even if you double that rating it still is bad and will never attract serious sponsorship.

You're right man. With the kind of ratings the IRL is getting they will never be able to start 18 cars outside of Indy, they'll be lucky to start 33 at Indy and there is no way, no how that they will ever be able to find a series sponsor.....

Hahahaha....Sarcasm..........so witty!

i don't know what I was thinking. Indy Cars is the most successful and profitable series on the planet. I hear the Ferrari and McLaren are both checking out Dallaras and soon we will see Hamilton vs. Alonso on the oval in Iowa

Just keep peddling the doom brother, keep peddling....a couple guys here will always be right behind you cheering you on. : )

You believe what you want to for everything to be right in you little doom and gloom world.

Now I remember why I steered clear of you ratings threads. I thought that maybe after a year you would be able to have a civil conversation about what's the real numbers etc. But I guess I was wrong. I won't make that mistake again.
