Nielsen has published selected data from its latest research into whether Twitter buzz affects TV shows’ ratings in the US. Its conclusion: they do. Specifically, its study claims that “for 18-34 year olds, an 8.5% increase in Twitter volume corresponds to a 1% increase in TV ratings for premiere episodes, and a 4.2% increase in Twitter volume corresponds with a 1% increase in ratings for midseason episodes”.
