That’s weird. I thought the Olympics were getting over 30 million viewers?
I noticed something was up with the total viewers list as well. Big Brother is never that low.
The viewer figures is only 18-49 as you can see in the heading- not total viewers.
And I would assume does not include 11- 12pm.
@jt the second table is total viewers, but it definitely looks incorrect.
wow at abismo de pasion!
I’m guessing those are household numbers and not viewership numbers? Tuesday night was definitely over 40 million.
Or close to it at least, IIRC.
why is univision on the broadcast ratings list? Is it an actual non cable channel in some markets? It’s listed as a cable channel in the tv guide in the paper in my area. What’s the ruling on this?
