It does not matter, they are already multiply counted, advertising only cares about viewer minutes, so one viewer watching the same pitch for 1000 minutes and 1000 viewers watching each for 1 minute is all the same to the advertiser.
(Don't think too much about the details of the problem and how realistic they are, this is a word problem and no great knowledge of the apparent domain is required of the problem setter. That is the background to the problem presented here is all rubbish, its purpose is to get you to formulate a LP problem from all the background noise).
