Saved anchor fourteen million equals fourteen million people in the fixture. Both bars represent the same numeric count at thirty pixels per million. Audience, event and record labels are saved code data, not independently verified broadcast measurements. Saved anchor fourteen million versus another entered fixture twelve million differs by two million. Bars share zero at thirty pixels per million viewers. Different games and seasons are not a controlled comparison of network quality. Two-million difference divided by twelve-million reference times one hundred is about sixteen point seven percent. Bars compare difference and reference at thirty pixels per million. This is a derived fixture comparison, not reported year-over-year audience growth.
