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.

TBBT is twice a beast
Let’s start “DELETE Saving Hope” messages!
@Amanda
Few days late but
Web Therapy (Showtime)
-11 PM: 0.103 million viewers, 0.06 A18-49
….on Monday, is a series high right??
It was getting like 0.030 last year
I don’t watch Saving Hope, but I’d like to DELETE the DELETE Saving Hope posts. What is it with this “delete” stuff anyway? Why not say cancel?
Thats better than I thought Breaking Pointe would do.
Or even Do Not Resusitate or Euthanize? Something with a medical bent if you are trying to be different?
lol Take Me Out earns a series high when its moving to Saturdays now.
I had absolutely no enthusiasm to watch Wipeout last night.
Almost 1 million viewers for Breaking Pointe.
Ive been saying CBS Should just air BBT repeats each night look at those numbers. Repeats in summer easily beating new NBC originals.
Look at how much that huge Big Bang Theory lead in helped Person of Interest. I think it went up .5 this week.
I’m kind of surprised they’re moving Take Me Out. It’s doing pretty decent…
BRock Center With rian Williams.
@billy
I agree. With 2 1/2 men moving this fall with their own fanbase there is no excuse for POI to maintain their fanbase and for Elementary not to do well.
Very happy for the number of POI! Best show ever.
Duets, better flat than decreasing. (it might go up after adjustments)
Wow at TBBT!
Duets = cancel
Saving Hope was bad and boring……..cancel!!
Mentalist repeat rating = cancel.
(see how dumb it sounds?)
So the great fox thinks they’re too good for take me out. It only did .3 less than there great The Choice.
