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 vegas week was really down this year vs last year. I think Vegas week last year hit a series high 4.6
Adanskii, was there less compitistion last year than this year on the other networks?
Funny that NBC rates so well in Summer and so bad in Fall, Winter and Spring
NBC – Nothing But Competitions (sports, reality, etc.)?
OT —
The NFL is moving 4:15 games to 4:25.
Will affect/effect ? sunday nite shows.
NBC is a beast during the summer as the Olympic Trials has provided great lead-in opportunity for AGT to capitalize off of these past three days. NBC should just air time trials until the Olympics start.
@ SalaciousCrumb
As a NFL fan this is great for me because it gives me 10 extra minutes to watch bonus coverage of the out of town games. It will definitely effect Sunday shows on CBS and FOX as there will be an extra 10 minute delay to each program.
Did the Olympic trials air live on the West Coast at 5 P.M. PDT??
@Oliver. There is one more episode of Dogs, this season. It will be on 2 weeks from yesterday. It is the season finale.
@Fancy Pants, I totally agree. I really enjoyed Final Witness. I like how it is produced. It had the feel of Unsolved Mysteries mixed with a fictional dramatic show like Body of Proof. The case really held my attention. The narrating from the victim is a nice touch. I really hope this show catches on because it is executed very well.
Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte are killing for the Olympics right now.
NBC does well with reality and sports but crap with scripted. Maybe they ought to just stick to what they’re good at?
——————————————————
their comedies are good. no sizable audience but their sitcoms are way better than the crap on CBS.
