How do ratings on TV shows work?

  • if the ratings aren't good the show might get canceled. my question is If you watch the show on tv the day it airs it helps the rating of the show but what if you watch it "on demand" does it still help the rating of the show? I just wanna know because I have Verizon and they put the new episode of tv show on demand to watch it anytime and that's how I watch my shows but I also wanna help the rating of it so I was wondering should I just watch it when it airs and tune in?

  • Answer:

    Your rating doesn't count unless you have a Nielsen cable box http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nielsen_ratings
