• Suppose an ad was placed in a programme with 1.3 TVRs
• It means that 1.3% of India has seen the entire programme in which the ad
was placed and the ad also gets a TVR of 1.3
• Now, the ad is played two times in the same 30 minute programme
• 1st ad got a TVR of 1.3 and so did the second ad
• Total TVR garnered by the ad is 1.3+1.3=2.6
• The ad got a GRP of 2.6
