Nielsen TV Ratings: ©2013 The Nielsen Company. All Rights Reserved.
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 baseball 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.

I thought they will air the making of The Following .
go FOX!
Wonder how the Casey Anthony movie on Lifetime did.
I saw a bit of Cops (haven’t watched in a long time) before putting on a dvd. It was fun to watch old Cops reruns during lunch breaks at the PD when I worked there as a secretary a long time ago, lol…with other cops on their breaks.
Hum… what happened to Hockey? No numbers?
Hey Fox, next time air 2 hours of Cops.
Whats a dvd ?
Amanda, correction needed: 20/20 was new not a repeat.
“Amanda, correction needed: 20/20 was new not a repeat.”
Thanks. Fixed.
Maybe the NFL should consider moving one of next year’s Conference Championship games from Sunday afternoon at 3:05 P.M. EST to Saturday night at 7:35 P.M. EST.
Even though it would be played on a Saturday night, I think it would keep people home.
Last night (January 19th) was the long-delayed opening of the NHL season, and I suspect that in a number of major markets, local hockey telecasts did well in (or even topped) the local TV ratings in those markets.
Fox seems to be ignoring its realities this season. While The X Factor was buzzed-about, Kitchen Nightmares & Cops got repeatedly pushed back and not promoted and it shows in the ratings.
@Perdix
They did, at 11:30 p.m.
Fox should have never took Americas Most Wanted away at 9.. Cops and AMW were always the winners on Saturday Nights even putting Friday shows to shame most of the time with better demos and decent ratings..
I’m still surprised Fox axed AMW they got crap for that back in the 90s and it was brought back to broadcast, thank god Lifetime picked it up.
Maybe Fox should Air Cops and try to get Rescue 911 back on the air that would make a great Saturday Night Combo.

First, there’s no chance of this happening as the NFL is locked into a long-term contract with FOX and CBS.
Second, WHY? Is there any evidence that a Saturday night game will necessarily do better than a Sunday afternoon one?
Sunday afternoon is the best NFL timeslot all year long, I don’t understand your obsession with thinking that there’s any desire by the NFL or the networks to move the game away from there…
I am surprised the Miss America pageant aired last week. ABC should have had the pageant delayed a week and broadcast it last night when there was no NFL playoff game opposite it.
I doubt there is much overlap between the NFL and Miss America audiences. However, I think there is a little overlap. We all see last night’s schedule. Some people who missed the pageant last week would have watched it last night, given the alternatives.
First non-sports Saturday night in many months.
Law & Order SVU repeat did great last night
SVU still proving it serves NBC well in its repeat status.
