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 (We also where possible now post the 18-34 and 25-54 Demo Numbers).
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.
CW?
ReplyDeleteHuh, how come CW is on the chart but 7 pm isn't? Anyway, I'm not sure if it's worrysome or not that I wold much rather be watching the CW reruns than anything on network TV (except I would probably watch The Simpsons over 2.5 Men)
ReplyDeleteDark UFO,
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that occasionally when I visit this site it automatically reloads to a spam article about Warren Buffet being 84-years-old or something (its hard to describe), with no option to press the back button to get back to STV? Is there any form I can fill out or something? Thanks

ReplyDeleteWhy are CW ratings on the chart?
ReplyDeletecw?
ReplyDeleteAll right, I'll do so as soon as it comes up next
ReplyDeleteWhy not? We do them for every other day of the week ☺
ReplyDeleteFamily Guy was a rerun, right? If not then thats really worrysome.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've updated the table updated to reflect that.
ReplyDeleteBut don't they do local programming on Sundays? I thought there was different programming on depending on the affiliate.
ReplyDeleteA sunday without revenge and OUAT how sad. Well make sure to tune in on january 4th for revenge
ReplyDeleteThe Mentalist half hours :1.4/8.82m; 1.3/8.37m.
ReplyDeletei don't understand why the viewers in the preliminary rating was 8.15m??? *___*
Ps: happy for TM!!! Better than I expected :) thought it might drop to 1.1 even 1.0 bec of holidays XD
You say that, but this close to Chrstmas Revenge would be at like a 0.8 and Once a 1.5ish, based on the past couple weeks. It would be risky to run them
ReplyDeleteAre we just assuming that the CW won't be changing anything for their midseason? they still haven't released their midseason schedule.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have the ratings for CW? And if it's really true CW airs the same repeats everywhere, then the affiliates could like give Sundays back to CW and let them show two of their lowest rated shows there, which could save some other shows from being cancelled.
ReplyDeleteLike...
Sunday:
8 Hart of Dixie
9 Beauty and The Beast
10 Jane The Virgin repeats
