Kim Taehyung and Yoo Seung-ho’s Appearance Earns Unrivaled Viewership Ratings
To explain how TV show popularity is measured, it’s based on viewer ratings, representing the percentage of an audience that watched a show compared to the potential number of viewers. A rating point, often referred to as Rtg or TVR, equals 1% of television households at a specific moment. For instance, a 3.0 rating implies that 3.468 million homes (calculated as 3.0 x 1.156) were tuned into the show.
TV networks use these ratings to show advertisers the level of viewer engagement with their programs. This is crucial for networks when negotiating the sale of advertising slots. In this context, the recent episode of “Running Man” featuring Taehyung, the singer-songwriter known for “Love Me Again,” and actor Yoo Seung-ho, achieved a notable 4.9% rating per minute. This translates to 5.6644 million television households (4.9 x 1.156) watching at a given moment.
