The Numbers Game

Over the years of being a professional broadcaster, I have learned a great many things about how the business is run and how it should be run. One such thing regards the much ballyhooed "numbers". You hear about that all the time. But, just what do they mean?

To put it in an interesting parameter, a TV show nowadays can be considered a success when it pulls in around 10 million viewers. Shit, at that number you would have a hit on your hand. Meanwhile, a video could easily pull twice that number and no one in the business bothers to question the success of such a thing.

I See Where You Are Coming From

This show seems to be taking on some sort of strange and organic growth. It is a joy to do and it is fun to keep an open mind about which direction it tends to go. Along with that, we tend to check on the numbers of the show. Those analytics can tell us a bunch about who you are (collectively), where you are going and where you came from to get here. The results are amusing.

Also, we get to see what the truth is about people and how that distorts our perceptions of these folks. Perceptions are a funny thing. Because not everything is as it appears. I'll prove it during this episode.

Plus, music from Deering & Down.
