This 'combined measure' of exposure to television advertising combines information about the viewing habits of individuals and the actual distribution of campaign advertisements. In this measure, exposure to a particular television ad is regarded as a function of two factors: the frequency with which an advertisement is aired in a particular media market and the quantity of television viewing by a particular respondent. This measure therefore weighs the frequency with which an advertisement is aired with self-reported television viewing for the relevant daypart.
