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.

1st!
Whoa Dancing is pretty much done after this year I would think…
The Over/Under on The Mob Doctor cancellation announcement is 5:00 ET today. I’m going under.
That’s still horrible for H50!
DWTS is so boring!
How bad is that 2.9 for MIKE AND MOLLY?
i gave partners another chance, but god that show is so bad.
Can someone explain to me how Castle is still on the air?
Hope 2 Broke Girls gets adjusted up. 3.3 or 3.4 please?
I’d be curious to know if there’s a way to track the ‘oldest skewing’ shows, i.e. the ones with large viewing numbers (total) but weak 18-49 numbers (ala dancing with the stars last night)
Revolution Didn’t drop as much as i though it would
Who is watching Revolution, and more importantly, why are they watching it???
Also, FOX needs to pull The Mob Doctor, like, now.
so few viewers for DWTS, surprise.
Bye partners, loved Bones, Castle, 2BG and M&M last night, i PVR’d Revolution so ill try and watch that sometime this week.
good for CW. I think
Great for NBC. They really needed a win, and it looks like The Voice and Revolution could provide that for them. Of course, Revolution could still drop, but it has held up relatively well over the first three weeks. Hopefully this helps turn the network around.
It looks like ABC could be facing a serious problem with DWTS. What used to be a powerhouse is now three hours of ratings drain that won’t be easy to replace. Castle’s corresponding drop isn’t surprising. If it can maintain around a 2.0, I think the syndication could keep it alive for another year or so.
CBS’s Monday comedies are stronger than the majority of broadcast TV, but those numbers still have to be a bit worrying. 5-0 got a little week-to-week bump, but that’s simply depressing for them.
FOX can celebrate Bones staying over a 2.0. Mob Doctor on the other hand…ouch.
Hate to see Revolution dropping but those 18-49 numbers are pretty good.
If the final numbers hold up would that be the first time something beat Dancing with the Stars in total viewers???
I still think Revolution will ultimately crash
Even Though they aren’t bad ratings… with all the talks with the potential final season and these somewhat declining ratings…
It’s starting to look like HIMYM’s Final Season
Castle
ouch dwts!
i’m worried for happy endings with these awful numbers…
