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 football 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.

AGT has convinced me that variety shows can succeed if done properly, unfortunately recent incarnations of variety prpograms, in my opinion, were not done properly. Go AGT!
I can’t wait for Revolution next Fall. It looks so so good.
Medialife poll has Revolution, Elementary and 666 Parc Avenue as the the biggest hits next season. All of them look great, but Revolution is the best promo I have watched in at least 4 years.
Can anyone explain (including Bill and Robert) The CW “summer strategy” of repeating/encoring new episodes of The Catalina and Breaking Pointe two and three times, rather than rerunning of 90210 and HoD (not to mention a TVD rerun that was preempted last week for repeats of TC and BP)?
I know GG repeated terribly on average last summer so I can understand that. Do “(current) new show repeats” (TC/BP) have more value to the “Advertisers” than repeats of veteran shows (90210/HoD – barely) that would likely repeat as well as either repeat or new episodes of TC/BP). I understand that Mark Pedowitz is striving for more new content, less repeats, but is rerunning TC/BP twice really achieving his goal?
I would have aired repeats of 90210/HoD last night.
FOX has gold on their hands….
Hells Kitchen and Masterchef – and these should go up a tad tonight probably. There is a core, dedicated audience now attached to both. Masterchef should overtake Hells Kitchen within two weeks. Its an incredible series.
FOX profiting Mondays and tuesdays witht hese two shows (and Hotel Hell?) and Wed is bigggg still with SYTYCD (good oend day format).
Thursdays will premeire BIG too – just wait. 2.5 and higher…. Maybe 2.9 – 3.o fr the choice. Big following for Cat Deeley and great Buzz and concept and actually known stars. WIll be big for FOX.
@DonnaT
The CW repeats The Catalina and Breaking Pointe more often so more people will view it and more people will come back for more in its regular slot. Farther into the summer we’ll see more regular-season show repeats.
So Monday now is NBC day all year long! Good. With Sunday in the fall and may be strong tuesdays and fridays they will be #2 network next year.
I wonder if that repeat of the catalina last night will help it tonight. and the repeat of Breaking Point will help on Thursday night.
Hell’s Kitchen and Masterchef sure skew very young. I guess Gordon Ramsay provides the drama that young men like me crave.
I have a feeling that Fox’s Monday lineup this summer will be their Friday lineup next spring. Even if they get 1.5 out of it in the spring, it’ll trounce Touch/Fringe at a fraction of the price.
Love Masterchef. Glad people are finally catching on. Season 1 was good, Season 2 was great. It’s by far the best of the various Gordon Ramsay series….
It’s very odd that NBC’s reality shows, The Voice and AGT, are basically it’s bread winners now.
@Petar
…keep dreaming…and this is coming from a NBC sympathizer.
Wow AGT and ninja warrior are holding up pretty well. Surprised NBC hasn’t moved AGT out of summer and into the fall or the spring. The show would probably maintain its ratings or sip just a little and that would be amazing ratings for NBC. But I guess NBC needs something for summer and this is all they have
I WOULD HAVE AIRED ON THE CW :
M:
90210 (REPEAT) + GOSSIP GIRL (REPEAT)
T:
HART OF DIXIE (REPEAT) + NIKITA (REPEAT)
W:
SUPERNATURAL (REPEAT) + SUPERNATURAL (REPEAT)
T:
THE VAMPIRE DIARIES (REPEAT) + NIKITA (REPEAT)
F:
HART OF DIXIE (REPEAT) + SUPERNATURAL (REPEAT)
@In My Opinion
The premiere episodes of The Catalina and Breaking Pointe had decent ratings, so there’s no need to replace them with repeats.
it’s the third time these episodes of Catalina and Breaking Pointe repeat in less than a week no wonder why the ratings are this low
@DamC
a 0.3/1 for an original episode is NOT “decent” !
Grimm repeated better than most of NBC’s other freshmen did in main season first run.
At least they have one highlight.
Reality shows are successful if the production value is there.
I think The CW should think about airing new scripted programming during the summer.
Chef Ramsey needs his own network! He’s gold.
@In My Opinion
You’re not gonna get better ratings from Gossip Girl or Nikita repeats than Breaking Pointe or The Catalina.
