The Hispanic Television Index uses a separate sample that is designed to reflect the diverse Hispanic population in the United States, including language use in the home. This is separate from Nielsen’s samples of the general population, which includes Hispanics and all other ethnic groups. This report only looks at television usage within the Hispanic-origin sample television homes. The ratings are a percentage of the 9.73 million Hispanic television households. A rating of 1 is equal to about 97,300 Hispanic households.
