Ratings

Ratings are the standard for measuring the audience size and the profitability of any given dizi. The ratings are reported in three main categories: Total, AB, 20+ABC1. The importance of a category is usually determined by the socio-economic background of the segmented audience counted in that category. For a more detailed breakdown of how the system works, please read the Turkish TV Ratings, Explained article.

The overnight ratings come every morning at approximately 10AM Europe/Istanbul time.

The ratings for the previous day will be posted here on Dizilah. For a more-to-date coverage, please follow us on Twitter and Instagram.

The "Total" category consists of all people at and above the age of 5, living in segmented rating households. All of the TV audiences are accounted for in this category: AB, C1, C2, D, E...

In this category, the C1, C2 and D audiences carry the most weight as they constitute the majority of the TV audience as a whole. Audiences that fall in the C2 and D group are relatively uneducated and poor.

The "AB" category consists of relatively more-educated people at and above the age of 5, living in segmented rating households. Think well-to-do employers, white-collar employees, etc.

This category, the most important, consists of people who are at and above the age of 20 and comprises of the well-educated AB target audience plus a more moderate group of individuals such as retired employees, blue-collar employees, housewives, shopkeepers, etc..
