ABC's entire line up gained in the ratings vs. last Thursday, but it was Spanish language Univision topping the night's adults 18-49 ratings averages. That's the first time that has happened this summer.
What you might wonder did Univision have on Thursday night that won the overall ratings race? It was Premios Juventud 2010, described by my handy guide as "El desfile de estrellas Latinas, y entrevistas en la alfombra roja luciendo sus mejores vestuarios." It topped the 9pm and 10pm hour adults 18-49 ratings outright. Here are the half hour adults 18-49 ratings: 2.0, 2.1, 2.3, 2.3, 2.0, 1.6.
ABC was up in every timeslot on the night, with Wipeout's 2.5 adults 18-49 average up a tenth (4%) vs. last Thursday. Rookie Blue was also up a tenth (6%) to a 1.7 rating. While ABC News Boston Med was up two tenths (18%) to a 1.3 rating.
CBS' Big Brother fell a tenth of a point (4%) vs. last Thursday to a 2.3 adults 18-49 rating.
Fox's So You Think You Can Dance dropped two tenths of a point (10%) vs. last Thursday to a 1.9 adults 18-49 rating, its lowest rating of the summer.

Nielsen TV Ratings: ©2010 The Nielsen Company. All Rights Reserved.
You can see TV ratings from other recent Overnight ratings reports here.
Definitions:
Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings, including demographics, are available at approximately 11 AM (ET) the day after telecast, and are released to subscribing customers daily. These data, from the National People Meter sample, are strictly time-period information, based on the normal broadcast network feed, and include all programming on the affiliated stations, sometimes including network programming, sometimes not. The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns. For example, with a World Series game, Fast Affiliate Ratings would include whatever aired from 8-11PM on affiliates in the Pacific Time Zone, following the live baseball game, but not game coverage that begins at 5PM PT. The same would be true of Presidential debates as well as live award shows and breaking news reports.
Rating: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute. Ratings are expressed as a percent.
Share (of Audience): The percent of households (or persons) using television who are tuned to a specific program, station or network in a specific area at a specific time. (See also, Rating, which represents tuning or viewing as a percent of the entire population being measured.)
Time Shifted Viewing – Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live+Same Day (Live+SD) and Live+7 Day. Time shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs. Live+Same Day (Live+SD) include viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3:00AM local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live+7 Day ratings include incremental viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

Wipeout had a pretty good jump at 8:30!
Rookie Blue isn't doing to well at 9:30.
U have Rookie Blue as CBS and CSI as ABC in the 2nd hour. Which is right?
glad to see 30Rock continuing to stumble.
I feel as if Rookie Blue and CSI were swapped. Because those numbers do look right.
Rookie Blue was also up a tenth (6%) to a 1.7 rating.
Is this number from your source that tends to mess up by putting the averages up by a tenth? Because even if the 9-9:30 half hour were 1.84, and 9:30-10 were 1.44, the average should still be 1.6.
Thanks for the catch, the show names were swapped, the networks and ratings were correct. Now fixed.
Giving that Univision had an award show that included artists that are popular to young people, they were bound to get high ratings, but I'm still shocked tar they won the night. Since this is pretty rare, I would've thought that you would put their ratings by the hour along the networks, do you have them?
Ahh, that makes more sense now. Rookie Blue is holding steady throughout the hour then, which is good news.
There's an error in the definition for “Fast Affiliate Ratings.” It says, “For example, with a World Series game, Fast Affiliate Ratings would include whatever aired from 8-11PM on affiliates in the Pacific Time Zone, following the live football game ….” The World Series is baseball.
For a variety of production reasons, adding in Univision at the last second is extra time I'd rather not spend before getting this post out on the admittedly rare instance they win the night.
But here are the half hour adults 18-49 ratings for Univision last night.
2.0, 2.1, 2.3, 2.3, 2.0, 1.6
Correct you are! Boilerplate editing underway!
ABC is laughing all the way to the bank with “Rookie Blue.” $350,000 an ep for a show that pulls a 1.7-1.8 = moneymaker.
Maybe. There's still the opportunity cost. I wonder what Wipeout's price-tag is.
What opportunity are they losing here?
Presumably the opportunity to program another hour of reality instead of Rookie Blue.
But that can be only a hypothetical comparison. While Wipeout, and Bachelorette do better than Rookie Blue, some of ABC's reality does not.
Would an unnamed reality show substituting for Rookie Blue be more profitable? Who knows. Would adding another hour of Wipeout be better? Again, who knows.
Wow…..Univision killed!!!
glad to see 30Rock continuing to stumble.
That's a strange thing to be glad about. Who cares how sitcom reruns perform in the summertime? I adore 30 Rock, yet I've never watched a single episode in the summer. Who watches sitcom reruns in the summertime anyway?
Thanks Bill!
