I'll give this question another go. The official ratings blurb says Total TV "is calculated using the audience average for the program as time-coded by the network..."

What does this mean in absolute terms i.e. roughly how many minutes of a typical NRL or AFL game does someone have to watch before they turn from a 1 minute Reach viewer into an Average viewer?
VOZ, which is what TotalTV get their figures from, defines it as the "average number of people viewing in any minute across the program"

So based upon that, a viewer could technically affect the average positively by watching just for a minute, though reality is majority of the average audience have had to watch the majority of the program.

Even when they affect the Average, AFL Reach figures indicate substantial numbers of unique viewers who only tune in for a short time. Would be illuminating to know how few minutes that typically represents.

If it meant most of their audience were regularly switching off after 1 or 2 mins, why would high Reach figures be something to boast about?
