This table shows the early overnight ratings. These ratings are normally adjusted later in the day when all the ratings have been consolidated to take into account any local preemptions and/or overruns. You can find all the final adjusted numbers in our Ratings Database. (See the About section below for details about ratings)
Each day (except Sunday) during the main TV Season we post the TV Ratings for the previous nights primetime shows for the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, CW, FOX, NBC). Cable Network ratings will be added to the Ratings Database.
The first item that gets posted (normally around 2pm GMT) is the early overnight analysis based on the early household numbers (these are not the same as the Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers that are posted later).
Next, if available, we will post the Top 25 Market 18-49 Ratings to give you a rough idea of the ratings to following.
Later on (normally between 4pm-5pm GMT) we post the official early overnight Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers in the table above.
Finally, later in the evening (10pm-11pm GMT) or the following day, the final adjusted ratings numbers are released, these are then posted in the Ratings Database. The Final Adjusted numbers are what we use for all our Renew/Cancellation Tables, Full Season Tables, Ratings Scorecards etc (see below). Friday's Final Adjusted Ratings are normally available on the following Monday.
If you’re interested in Ratings/Renewals/Cancellations then we have a number of resources here at SpoilerTV that we recommend you check out.
If FOX renews The X-Factor they are officially dead, these numbers are ridiculous. CBS lineup held up very well considering the low viewership, and the ABC sitcoms (sans SFN) also repeated quite well, especially LMS.
ReplyDeleteReports say that they are close to renewing it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lame night for TV. Except CBS, no other channel had the balls to air new episodes.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you see that? I wouldn't be shocked with a summer renewal but a regular season renewal would be surprising to me at this point. Gordon Ramsey can do better and they can easily replace the 3rd extra hour.
ReplyDeleteWhy would they? I am super glad they didn't. Ratings would be lower. It's not like we are getting less episodes overall because nobody aired shows last night. The only thing that would accomplish would be that, later on in the season, a perfectly good, "normal" night of TV would be filled with repeats instead of this one. CBS ratings don't look so awful but that's because 1) CBS is ALWAYS more resilient than the other channels to these holidays (because its audience is majorly located in the older part of the demo, 35-49, thus being less fickle than the 18-34 one) and 2) It was the only channel airing, so part of the lower viewing effect was counterbalanced by the no competition effect.
ReplyDeleteI read that they were about to renew also.Either in Variety,Deadline or THR,this week.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how ABC and CBS are going to fair against Sound of Music Live next Thursday. I think it'll either be huge or a really embarrassing flop. Three hours? The Making Of didn't do very well, but I expected that. A friend asked me why the other nets planned on putting new programming up against it. I wonder what we should expect.
ReplyDeleteWell they didn't really have a choice there. Unless they stopped with originals last week, it would be weird to skip these two weeks, then air one episode as fall finale on the 12th and then break again. I am also not so sure it will be that huge that they need to avoid it. But I tend to suck at predicting the ratings of these one-off events so don't go by me!
ReplyDeleteWell I am not doubting you guys, I just don't know how to explain that. Even its 18-34 ratings suck, the CW beats it regularly there.

ReplyDeleteQuote from the episode: "The negotiations are for a reduced number of episodes"
Yep,i'm at a loss for words on that...
ReplyDeleteIt's a little sad that a show about trains (which has been aired before) gets higher ratings than the networks usually Monday night shows.
