Categories: '

March 18th, 2011

American Idol was adjusted up one tenth of a ratings point from the preliminary adults 18-49 ratings to a 5.6 rating. Wipeout was also adjusted up, to a 2.1 adults 18-49 rating. Bones was adjusted down a tenth to a 3.3 adults 18-49 rating. There were no other 18-49 adjustments for new episodes.

Those wondering about the CBS NCAA Basketball ratings below should remember that beginning this year the NCAA games are on 4 different networks (CBS, TNT, TBS, truTV), until this year they were on CBS only. I'm hoping that TravisYanan includes the cable ratings for the NCAA games in his nightly cable ratings report I am waiting for now.
