Its an NFL world & were just living in it.
Is that good for the emmys?
Interesting how NFL overrun at 7:00 on CBS tied the actual game @ 8:30
3.9 for the Emmys is kinda impressive–sure the regular lineup won’t see that
@THEOLDMAN, The late-afternoon games frequently out rate the night games.
Sunday Final Averages
Million Viewers = 9.86 Million Viewers
18-49 Demo Average = 3.4 Average
Emmy’s would probably rate higher if they nominated less pay-cable programming. With the market becoming increasingly diversified, should Emmy separate Cable vs. Network (again)? I think some network TV shows have finally started to get better, but now have no shot thanks to cable’s inclusion (which allows for some rougher – truer? – content). Just a thought.
@ Max Vrany
Thanks for the info–1st time I’ve noticed this
Houston Texans and Replacement Refs = RATINGS!
