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.

Bye Bye Private Practice. I can see Vegas getting a full season but maybe not season 2. And NBC should move Go on and The new Normal to Thursdays at 8 and 8:30 in January when 30 Rock and Up All Night ends.
OUCH at CW!
I wanna see the NBC comedies facing the ABC comedies in 10/23.
Well that’s the price CW paid for going niche, they targeted primarily young females for awhile and then ABC family came along and cut them off at the knee. By the time they tried to pivot away by creating shows targeting more broad audiences it was too late, they had been branded with the tween girl demographic stigma.
Happy for Parenthood and The New Normal. Sad for Hart of Dixie
it’s not fair.
In all seriousness, will the CW eventually cease to exist (like UPN)? I doubt it is making much, if any, profit from these abysmal ratings… wow.
Mindy’s numbers may have stayed the same, but she LOST the demo to NBC, which is a first.
Remaining the same while your competition goes up is called losing.
Parenthood had incredible episode last night. It´s so gratifying to see it grow. I can´t believe that it got the best number since last November. Way to fight your case, Parenthood.
@ Suzie In the second season opener, the writers of Hart of Dixie effectively zeroed out the entire first season’s storyline. That’s a feat noteworthy only in that they took a show with a laughable storyline and managed to pretty much finish off what little entertainment value remained. I reluctantly watched the season opener to see if last season’s mess would continue and the writers didn’t disappoint me. So, now it’s adios to HOD. However, as Ultima has pointed out elsewhere, the CW has cut lucrative deals with Netflix and Hulu that will permit it to air disasters like HOD indefinitely.
HOD has more viewers then 90210 and GG, but still only got a 0.4?
Parenthood is looking good for renewal. Raising Hope wish it was doing much better, but it will never be a hit. The Mindy Project is only doing one tenth better with The New Girl lead-in though.
So if Arrow and Supernatural get good ratings then it must be because 90210,gossip girl and Hart of Dixie are horrible shows but if they tank to then something is seriously wrong
To whoever said nbc will finish second. I highly doubt it. All it has going for it is the voice. An that will crash in spring anyway, even if it.didnt. Big whoopy doo. It will not I repeat not finish second.
I dont watch Parenthood got to give it credit for rising 4 tenths impressive was it a important episode or something?
With these other shows stable, I really think Apt. 23 is going to fall hard.
GO RAISING HOPE AND GO ON
i’m really getting worried about the cw…i watch tvd and supernatural…wonder if this network can continue with some of these numbers
ncis is really falling a lot…didn’t they start the season with 4.0 and now down to 3.3…of course that’s still good, but seems low for the top cbs drama…
happy the voice is doing so good…i don’t watch it, but i dislike simon cowell so much, i have to root for the voice…seems like they have their battle rounds problem fixed
Quit it with the Cablevision crap…
The only way for it to have an impact is if the demo share for the NY area for those shows would be above a 10 which is highly unlikely.
A little Math. Cablevision affects 3% of the Nation. 97% is unaffected.
Example: Hod 4 demo in NY, .4 rest of nation.
=4*.03=.4*.97=.12+.388=.508. Rounding up to nearest tenth yields .5. There you have it. A whole 1/10 of a point difference.
Reality…. Can you name a CW show that scores a 4 demo rating anywhere? None do. It is more likely that the ratings in NY would be no different than the rest of the nation.
Heck… Even if it did a 1.0 demo a la TVD, the ratings would not change.
=1*.03=.4*.97=.03+.388=.418 Rounding up to nearest tenth yields .4
Fox Tuesday is the new NBC Thursday
The funniest thing about the Voice killing everything it’s put against is that its own numbers aren’t massive. I mean, mid 4′s is of course great, especially for NBC, but this is what few other shows last year were pulling without, and yet none of them managed to kill anyone.
What the heck is going on with the CW? This is getting ridiculous. Can they even survive another year?
