    How this dashboard is built

    Reach comes from Nielsen NLTV, joined to the Protrack schedule in the PBS SoCal warehouse. The sync script summarizes it into a snapshot every three hours; this page reads the snapshot in one call and draws it with Chart.js.

    Reach is never added up

    Reach counts unique people for one airing, so the dashboard averages it per airing. Adding airings together would count the same viewers twice.

    Nielsen lags about two weeks

    Live+7 numbers are final eight days after an airing and arrive a few days later, so the chart stops at the last whole month.
