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: 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.
  • Reach: A measure of the number of impressions a collection of tweets will make.
    For each tweet that is sent, it adds 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.
  • Male / Female: An estimate of the demographics of a show’s audience. Note that this number
    is an imprecise estimate.
