Viewership refers to the number of people who watch a particular program, event, or content, such as a television show, movie, or online video. It is an important metric for broadcasters and content creators, as higher viewership often leads to increased advertising revenue and greater popularity. Factors influencing viewership include the time of day, the platform used (like YouTube or Netflix), and the content's appeal. Special events, such as the Super Bowl or award shows, typically attract large audiences, while niche programs may have smaller, dedicated viewerships.
