But most viewership ratings (including Nielson) include all forms of "viewing" .... be it OTA broadcast, satellite, cable, internet, etc.
Do they not ? (I'm asking, not sure).
I watched each day's broadcast on YouTube. Yes, there was a considerable (a full day) delay in my getting to it, but I watched it all, and I'm pretty sure I wasn't included in any viewership stats. Not sure how many others might have done the same thing, but I think as time goes on, the number of folks going this route will continue to grow (and the number of people watching more traditional broadcast formats will continue to shrink), so I'd weight the importance of reported viewership numbers accordingly...
