The percentage of the average daily contacts divided by the universe of the respected target. By default, the definition of "contacts" is "having viewed at least 1 minute" for the conditions specified.

Note: The definition can be defined by the user either by the number of minute(s) viewed or percentage of the time band viewed.


Formula: AvRch% = (Sum of the c ontacts in 000's per day / Number of days) / Universe of the respected target x 100

AvRch(000)
Average Reach in 000's

The average daily contacts expressed in thousands. By default, the definition of "contacts" is "having viewed at least 1 minute" for the conditions specified. Note: The definition can be defined by the user either by the number of minute(s) viewed or percentage of the time band viewed.


Formula: AvRch(000) = Sum of c ontacts in 000's per day / Number of days

Cost

The rate card cost for a support.

Cost/Cont
CPM (Cost per thousand)

The cost of the support for every one thousand contacts, expressed in currency units

Formula £º Cost/Cont = Cost x 1000 / Cont (000)

Cost/GRP
CPRP (Cost per rating point)

The average cost for one rating point.

Formula £º Cost/GRP = Cost of the support / Rating in % of the support

Distribution of Contacts in 000's

The number of individuals in thousands who have viewed a campaign or a plan of supports once, twice¡­or n times. Note: The user can define the number of 'n' by using the "Maximum number of contacts" option.

1+(%), 2+(%), 3+(%)¡­n+(%)
Distribution of Contacts in %

The number of individuals in thousands who have viewed a campaign or a plan of supports once, twice¡­or n times, expressed as a percentage. Note: The user can define the number of 'n' by using the "Maximum number of contacts" optio n.

Formula: n+(%) = n+(000) / Universe of the chosen target

Duration

The number of Reach in 000's which is exclusive can be reached by a particular spot/support.

Fid
Fidelity

An index showing the loyalty of viewers, expressed as a percentage with a minimum and maximum result of 0% and 100% respectively. Note: The higher the index, the viewers are more loyal for the specified period and conditions.
