Reach and Frequency 3
8 exposures divided by number of homes hit =
exposures.
8_exposures = 2.67 average exposures
3 homes
Reach times frequency equals gross ratings
points:
75 rating (3 homes hit in universe of 4) times 2.67
exposures = 200.25 gross rating points.


Another Gross Rating Point
Concept
100 gross rating points would equal 100%
of the universe receives the message one
