I wrote a message in the Kostya Tszyu forum about the fight, I hadnt been on there for at least a year and couldnt believe the response. Any way there is a Channel ten forum and someone from the KT site has already wrote a topic on the event thanking channel 10. I have put the topic below

ARPU statistics and RC Nilson(Or is it Nelson) With digital signal they (TEN,SEVEN,NINE,ABC) can (like a internet ping sent by optus/bigpond) see who is watching, But not for reg TV -It maybe a case of testing waters for sponcerd adds?.

OzTAM do the TV ratings and as Robo says they use a panel of volunteers who attach a box to their TV. They have to log in when they watch and it records the time/channel they watch. OzTAM then extrapolate that to give a "national rating" figure for the programmes...
