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.

What happened last night?
That’s kinda low for SYTYCD
Wow AGT did awful, even if it was just a results show.
AGT had horrible lead ins. It still won the night.
I kind of liked Dogs in the City. I thought that it was kind of cute!
Off their rockers repeated much better than Up all night.
AGT also went up against Dallas last night. That is why I didn’t watch it. I wouldn’t miss Dallas for anything.
SVU beats CSI in the 18-49 ratings!
Must be a series low for AGT?
I can’t see Howard being back next year after this. They spent a lot of money and the ratings are down after years of stable numbers.
That being said, NBC’s scheduling of it has been awful. Constantly moving nights, moving timeslots, missing nights… AGT always performs best at 9pm with a lead-in from a repeat of the previous nights show.
What’s going to happen to it with The Olympics? Even in 2008 taking a 3 week break hit it badly and if it happens again it might do even more damage.
They should have just repeated an AGT episode before they aired a result show. It would have gotten better ratings and kept the demo up. With those repeats, viewers probably thought AGT at nine was a repeat as well.
The real winner here is FOX. SYTYCD is doing pretty well, I’d expect this to adjust up to a 2.0 possibly. Considering this one was about to be axed, around a 2.0 is pretty good for the summer… I mean x factor got 3.4′s alot… durring the season…. with Simon Cowell. Considering 1.4 is not much … not really….. DANCE is doing really great. It defiantely has a following.
Also, people who watch the show know it is a nitch show…. a cult like show even… people who dont watch it probably think its idol or x factor for dance, which s not what it is… it has an intimate feel…. and a more impressive show, really. It isnt just abother reality competition, it really has heart.
Once again, I will say that “Final Witness” would be a great fit with Investigation Discovery.
this is why fox got rid of the sytycd results show…a 1.9 rating for the performance show isn’t that great and the results show rating would be much worse…
The reason AGT had stable numbers last year Craig is the fact that it aired with the Voice and had a stable time slot. You trying to blame Stern for NBC’s treatment of the show is nuts. He’s the best and only good thing on it this show this season .
That dogs in the city show needs to be sandusky’d. It’s so lame and corny.
Result shows don’t do that well, they never do. Especially when it’s lead in are repeats of two very bad shows. Even with those problems, the AGT result show did decent enogh to take the night.
How is Howard stern a talent evaluater? He has no talent himself
Period
AGT numbers starting to look like Harry’s Law numbers. It should be toast soon.
Dogs in the City, it is what it is. Just a summer spot filler for dog lovers. At least it’s not another “dating” show.
