Definition of terms used in this report:
- Network: For the purposes of total network mentions, the count is the total unique tweets that
mention any of the shows tracked on the network or the network’s general Twitter account (e.g., @CNN). - Mentions During Hour or Tweets Hour: The number of tweets that mention the show during the hour
specified. For shows that are repeat later in the day, the first (and often live) showing usually garners the
most mentions by a significant margin. - Mentions During day or Tweets Day: The total number of mentions a show received from midnight
to midnight, eastern time. - Tweet Count: The number of tweets (including retweets) that mention a show.
- Unique Tweeters (Also labeled ‘UT‘): The number of Twitter users who have sent one or more tweets mentioning a
show. If a user sends more than one tweet, they still only count once. For individual shows, both the unique tweeters
during an hour as well as throughout the day are shown. - Reach: A measure of the number of impressions a collection of tweets could make. For each tweet
that is sent, I add up how many people follow the person tweeting it — how many timelines that tweet will
show up in. Thus, if network A has 10,000 mentions from people with an average of 10 followers, the reach will
be 100,000. On the other hand, if network B has 10,000 mentions from people with an average of 100 followers,
the reach will be 1,000,000. So network B has much greater reach: tweets mentioning network B will potentially
be seen 10 times as often as tweets about network A. There’s no guarantee that that many people actually
see or read the tweet; in fact, it’s probably safe to say a very small fraction do. For individual shows,
reach is only calculate on the entire day’s tweets: there’s no point in assuming that people read the tweets
in real time. - Male / Female: An estimate of the demographics of a show’s audience. Note that this number is
an imprecise estimate.
