The only help I can provide are these definitions in the Nielsen book:

Nielsen Average Audience: Number of TV households tuned to the program during the average minute.
 
Nielsen Total Audience: Audience viewing all or any part of program in excess of 5 minutes. For programs of less than 10-minute duration, households viewing 1 minute or more are included.

Not sure I totally get it but sounds like the 11.0 for AW was a peak audience at any given time during the shows airing. Maybe a lot of people watch the first 5ish minutes then change the channel. Or come in during a commercial break for a short period. 

I'm pretty sure 3pm was a big viewing time and there was a larger available audience than other time slots in the day. 

A bit confusing not sure if anyone else has better insight.
