Nielsen Ratings

Although there is no Nielsen type ratings system to put an absolute number on our viewership, we know that our ADTV audience includes a global audience of 30 million households. Here in the United States, that is about 200,000 Arab American households. Because the program is also carried live on LinkTV, a non-profit network based in California, we reach an additional 20 million households nationwide. The program is rebroadcast on Michigan's WFUM PBS affiliate, TV Orient, and Virginia's non-profit MHz every Sunday.

A final word about ADTV. Polling indicates that ADTV is the "most respected" Arab news network. Unlike other regional networks which have been known for their sensational reporting, viewers give ADTV descriptors such as "ethical", "accurate", and "reliable". Once more, the network consistently ranks as one of the most watched overall. As for "Viewpoint", it recently won an award at the Cairo Radio/Television Festival—the equivalent of an Arab world Emmy.
