Short answer
A gross rating point (GRP) is a measure of advertising weight calculated by multiplying reach, expressed as a percentage of the target population, by average frequency. A traditional television planning metric, GRPs let buyers compare the total exposure of different schedules, though they count repeat exposures and say nothing about how many unique people were reached.
