    TV news is all about ratings. if nobody watched it, the news wouldn't show it.

        Companies like AC Nelson and Arbitron use sophisticated market research tools to statistically derive ratings. It's a big business in itself.

        The higher the ratings from these companies, the more the networks can charge for advertising during the highly rated shows.

          Believe me. There aren't to many accidents in the media. Everything is calculated by people who think they know what they are doing. They are trying to maximize the revinue through scientific means and that is what has ruined anything artistic in the mass media.
