Effective with data for April 2011, the national Average Audience (AA)
calculation has been changed to include duplicate viewing, whether from any
time-shifted sources such as DVR or VOD or any additional telecasts of
syndicated programs. With this calculation change, AA and GAA ratings now
report the same audience estimates.
