Will FNC be number 1 in primte-time average viewers next week?
@Hillbilly
FNC is always a good candidate to be #1 or 2 until they run into their weekend ratings.
@AppleStinx
I’m predicting the convention coverage will make them number 1. That’s based on the link you provided for the 2008 coverage. If I’m wrong its your fault.
How come the Bravo press releases always take about how great the channel does in 18-49 when it is consistently near the bottom in these charts? It’s 2nd to last in the chart above.
@Jason
This Chart is out of 99 channel. They only put the top 25 up
USA Has some of the best summer TV shows: Suits (best show on TV) N. Roughness, Royal Pains, B Notice, Covert Affairs are entertaining – have a plot. With Franklin and Bash – Riz & Isles – I do not watch network TV. I even like Longmirer. I watch the reruns over and over all these shows.
