Cume
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the practice of measuring the size of US commercial broadcasting and newspaper audiences, cume, short for "cumulative audience," is a measure of the total number of unique listeners over a period.
The technical definition of cume is restricted by Arbitron as requiring a listener to tune in for at least five minutes[1]. Nielsen defines TV viewing cume (or "reach") as simply being "exposed" to a particular program.[citation needed]
