Update: Local pre-emptions for the Muscular Dystrophy Telethon may cause more than the typical level of adjustments in the final ratings due Tuesday.
It's the end of the summer and the broadcast networks are running on fumes. Next Sunday things rev up, as Sunday Night Football returns with Cowboys v. Jets which is certain to pile up the ratings.
Even without NFL pre-season or substantial MTV competition like last Sunday, Big Brother ratings slid from last week's 3.0 adults 18-49 rating to a 2.3/2.4 rating (sadly, only half hours available at this time). Few tuned in for The Good Wife: A New Beginning recap episode at 9:30pm, it drew just a 0.6 adults 18-49 rating. Earlier in the evening, 60 Minutes had a 0.8/0.9 adults 18-49 rating down from last week's 1.0 rating.
Dateline NBC drew a 0.8/0.7 adults 18-49 rating. It wasn't on last Sunday night.
Fox's In the Flow With Affion Crockett was up a tenth vs. last Sunday to a 1.1 adults 18-49 rating.

Nielsen TV Ratings: ©2011 The Nielsen Company. All Rights Reserved.
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.
For more information see Numbers 101 and Numbers 102.
