MLG is the most trust worthy as they always tell you how they go them.

The number is less than MLG hoped for. Actually it is done by IP. That means that even if you had 1000 streams open, it would only count once.

It looks like they said average quarter hour peak viewers for the cable networks, but that means they counted silly times where no one watches TV and times in the mid-day when no 18-24 y/os watch TV. | ||

If they compared peak Comedy Central viewers to peak MLG there would be no comparison, but if they compared 18-24 male viewers at noon in the US to their peak there would obviously be a difference. It looks like they said average quarter hour peak viewers for the cable networks, but that means they counted silly times where no one watches TV and times in the mid-day when no 18-24 y/os watch TV. Where are you seeing MLG say they "compared their peak concurrent viewers to the viewers of US-only Nielsen ratings"? You'll note the AQH numbers for MLG are roughly half their reported peak, so...? It looks like MLG just computed their AQH from their stream numbers over the duration of the weekend, which would explain the difference. As for the fairness of the comparison, yes it's not apples to apples. If I'm a potential sponsor, though, aren't I more concerned about reach for a particular demographic, and the cost associated with it? Suppose MTV has a one hour show that has 1,000,000 AQH for 18-24 year old males, but it only happens a few times a week, and otherwise their programming has less than spectacular viewership (accounting for the lower overall AQH per the graph). If I want to buy ads during that programming, I'm likely to have a lot of competition from other companies interested in the same demographic (driving up costs) and because the show (or shows) only represent a small fraction of the number of programmable hours during a given week, I'm hoping that the large viewership will offset the fact that my ad spots may only show up a handful of times during their broadcasts. Otherwise I'm looking at buying ad space for MTV's "down" periods, i.e., mid-day when "no 18-24 y/os watch TV", as you said. What MLG appears to be saying is that they should be considered a value option for potential sponsors /because/ their AQH is really high relative to cable's average viewership, not that they peak higher (which they almost certainly don't). That is, sponsors investing in MLG can count on higher average viewership during Pro Circuit events and, because the average MLG viewer is watching 3+ hours of content, sponsorship ROI could potentially be higher. Put differently, MLG events don't have a "down period" that bottoms out as much as MTV/CC/etc for the 18-24 demo and MLG viewers tend to stick around for 3+ hours, so the ad space I buy can possibly go further than if I throw my eggs in the "peak" viewership basket for cable television's more popular shows. Anyway, that's how I'm reading it. That's possibly why the 3+ hour number is directly below the AQH numbers, as well. | ||

Would be cool if there was a graph showing the viewers on each of different streams (SC2, CoD, etc.) Im not trying to stir shit up, just wondering. | ||
