Ratings Point

A Ratings Point (often abbreviated as "RTG" or "Rating Point") is a measurement used in television and radio to indicate the popularity of a program. One Ratings Point represents 1% of the total potential audience within a specific demographic, which means if a show has a rating of 5 points, it has captured the attention of 5% of that target audience. This metric helps networks and advertisers understand how well a show is performing compared to others, guiding decisions about programming and advertising strategies based on viewer engagement.
