The gain and loss analysis examines viewer movements within a broadcaster and a comparison broadcaster during the course of the day. The viewer gains and losses of broadcasters are determined across several programmes or intervals of time.

Unlike special-interest channels, general-interest channels offer a wide range of content in the categories of information, education, advice and entertainment. They are oriented to all television viewers and not individual target groups.

A genre is a category of TV programmes. Comedies, westerns, crime dramas, cartoon series and sitcoms are examples of genres.

Gross reach describes the sum of all the persons who came into contact with particular content or in a particular time interval. Statistical overlaps between persons are not taken into account, unlike in net coverage. In the 0/1 method, gross audience corresponds to contact total.

GRP is an acronym that stands for Gross Rating Point. It is calculated as the quotient of the sum of contacts with the included commercial breaks of a campaign divided by the potential in the target group, multiplied by 100. (Alternatively: Average contacts multiplied by the potential market share.) GRP is also referred to as advertising pressure.
A GRP of 120, for example, can mean that 10% of the target group was reached 12 times or 40% of the target group three times. Internal and external overlaps are not taken into account when calculating the GRP.

The CpG indicates the costs per GRP, meaning the costs incurred for a chance of contacting one percent of the target group.
