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.

I thought that Person of Interest would have a higher 18-49 rating (at least over a 2.0) with Sons of Anarchy now over for the season.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the ratings chart, I was sad because the 1.9 was with no competition, so I thought. Then I realized that it had to deal with the season finale of the reality garbage the Voice, which is an 18-49 ratings hog. Now it all makes sense. That show is a beast to go up against, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteSons of Anarchy is a beast as well in the ratings beating everything it's up against in the same hour even shows on the big networks. I haven't watched a episode of PoI live yet this season because it was up against my favorite show SoA and in January it'll be up against another favorite of mine Justified. They're probably my 2 favorite shows.
ReplyDeleteI think CBS may also like the stability of their Tuesday night lineup brings to the network. Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday seems to be doing well for them. If I were them I wouldn't change a thing on those nights.
ReplyDeleteHow much does SoA get in ratings?
ReplyDeleteNCIS had 19 + million viewers..
ReplyDeleteIt's season finale last week got a 2.8 18-49 rating and it usually gets around a 2.5 throughout the entire season. It's probably one of the top 5 cable series throughout the entire year maybe even the third highest after The Walking Dead and Duck Dynasty.
ReplyDeletePOI deserves better, even though I'm still upset about Carter's death, but I have to admit that those latest episodes are way beyond awesome
