Selection Tabs > Data Types > Data Types and Definitions

The following Data Types may be selected:

Projection Audience reached, weighted by the minutes spent viewing (000’s). Also known as TARP in Thousands, or average audience
Gross Projection Projections summed by day across the period selected. Where more than one episode airs in a day then the projections for each episode will be totalled
Peak Projection The peak projection achieved in a zone/program.  NA's will be given if zones/programs crossover.
Floor Projection The lowest projection in a zone/program.  NA's will be given if zones/programs crossover.
TARP Target Audience Rating Points         =              Projections x 100 (%)

Potential

Gross TARP TARPs summed by day across the period selected. Where more than one episode airs in a day then the TARPs for each episode will be totalled.
Peak TARP Highest Tarp achieved across a program/zone.
Floor TARP Lowest Tarp achieved across a program/zone.
Reach Unique audience reached, unweighted (000’s), based on the Viewing Minute selected. (1 min, 5 min continuous, etc)
Reach % Unique audience reached, expressed as a percentage of the Potential, based on the Viewing Minute selected. (1 min, 5 min continuous, etc)
Frequency The average number of times that an individual watched a program/zone.
Average Reach Cumulative audience reached averaged by day (000’s) for the period selected.  Will equal Cumulative Reach for one day
Average Reach % Actual audience reached averaged by day for the period selected, expressed as a percentage of the potential
1 Minute Average Reach Average Reach based on a 1 Viewing Minute
1 Minute Ave Reach % Average Reach expressed as a percentage, based on 1 Viewing Minute within the same Report, expressed as a percentage of the Potential
1 Minute Cume Reach Unique viewers reached for a program or zone
1 Minute Cume Reach % Unique viewers reached for a program or zone expressed as a percentage
Share To All % Share of a station, network or program expressed as a percentage. Share is measured against all viewing including FTA and STV
Share To Type % Share of a station, network or program expressed as a percentage. Share is measured against local viewing only e.g. if it is a FTA station, it is measured against all FTA. If it is a STV station, it is measured against all STV
Share To Selected % Share of a station, network or program expressed as a percentage. Share is measured against selected stations only – both FTA and STV
Commercial Share % Share of a viewing calculated against the Main Commercial Media
Primary Share % Share of viewing calculated against the Primary Commercial Media
Potential Maximum reachable audience (000’s). Also known as Universe or Population Potential
Sample Size Size of the sample of panelist for that survey period in units. The threshold for statistical reliability recommended by OzTAM is 100 (units)
Duration Cumulative length of a program or time period in hours and minutes across the period selected
Average TSV Average time spent viewing per episode in hours and minutes (where there is more than one episode). This will match Viewing/Viewer for a single episode
Average TSV % Average time spent viewing per day expressed as a percentage
Median Age Middle age of the audience reached, within the selected demographic
Viewing/Viewer Total time spent viewing in hours and minutes for the average viewer across the period selected
Viewing/Demo Total time spent viewing in hours and minutes for the potential audience (reached or not) i.e. average person in the market
Profile % Target demographic audience expressed as a percentage of a base demographic audience
Profile Index Relative performance of a target demographic against a selected base demographic (indexed as 100)
Peak Minute The minute in which the highest audience was achieved
Peak Offset The amount of minutes since the start of the zone/program that the peak minute was achieved
Floor Offset The amount of minutes since the start of the program that the lowest minute was achieved

Rate

Allows you to view rates according to the spot duration you select (i.e. 15 sec, 30 sec etc)
Cost per Thousand (CPM) Provides you with the Cost per Thousand (i.e. Projections) for the spot duration selected.
Cost per TARP (CPT) Provides you with the Cost per TARP for the spot duration selected.
Cume Reach (RF) Cumulative unique audience reached, unweighted (000’s), based on the Viewing Minute selected. (1 min, 5 min continuous, etc)
Cume Reach % (RF) Cumulative unique audience reached, expressed as a percentage of the Potential, based on the Viewing Minute selected. (1 min, 5 min continuous, etc)
Cume Reach (RF) (DIFF) Gained unique audience reached, unweighted (000's), based on the Viewing Minutes selected (1 min, 5 min continuous, etc)
Cume Reach % (RF) (DIFF) Gained unique audience reached, expressed as a percentage of the Potential, based on the Viewing Minute Selected (1 min, 5 min continuous etc)
Exclusive Projection Exclusive audience reached, based on your Media selection, weighted by the minutes spent viewing (000’s).
Duplication Projection The shared or "duplicated" audience reached, based on your Media selection, weighted by the minutes spent viewing (000's).
PUT (All TV) The number of people watching television displayed as a minute average, based on all sub-networks
PUT (To Type) The number of people watching television displayed as a minute average, based on type i.e. FTA, STV, etc.
PUT (To Selected) The number of people watching television displayed as a minute average, based on your selected Media items.
PUT (Commercial Stations) The number of people watching television displayed as a minute average, based on Commercial stations.
PUT (Commercial + SBS) The number of people watching television displayed as a minute average, based on Commercial and SBS station.
