The 1.8 rating would represent 1.8 percent of the total number of people who are capable of getting GSN's signal. Seems I heard somewhere that they had passed the 50 million homes barrier. A 1.8 for fifty million homes would be 900,000 viewers, so a million would seem about right, if all the other numbers are.
Like I said, very roughly 400,000. Hey, I was only off by 500,000! [/quote]
That's no worse than most politicians' math! :-)
(Seriously. A few years back here in New York, the Assembly Speaker tried to justify a pay raise by claiming the Assembly members effectively earned minimum wage. This was true -- if the Assembly members worked 31 hours a day, 365 days a year!)
I thought the 50 million was the number of
households in which GSN was available, which would make 900,000 households viewing, and depending on how many people there are per household, over a million viewers.
