You can see TV ratings from other recent Overnight ratings reports here.
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.
For more information see Numbers 101.
Spoiler TV has SPN on a 1.1 in the demo. Disappointed you only have it as 1.0. Still great ratings for SPN.
A little disappointing for Survivor.
Not the best week for CBS so far.
Lets hope this great show can bounce back next week.
Like I said, TBBT was not going to repeat as well as it normally does with TBS having a marathon that started at 8:30.
Yikes at The Middle.
Whitney neck and neck with Arrow while Guys With Kids flat out loses to it.
Awful night for everyone that is not the cw incredibly strong wednesday duo (breaking them up is a mistake, even if I had defended that in the past) and chicago fire. Idol okay as well I suppose.
ABC really has a problem on its hands with the modern family sliding. This is the last night they need, especially since after 4 years, they have yet to find a show that could be launched out of it. The Middle is down by a lot as well.
Survivor got destroyed… ouch. CSI didn’t fare so well either but the other 10pm shows look even worse.
Bad night all around.
@JacobYates
Don’t start what?
Good numbers for Chicago Fire. Another build at 10:30pm. If they continue to ratchet up their storytelling, it could be next year’s Scandal in terms of growth.
Well, we shouldn’t expect anything more from Survivor: Fans vs UNFavorites! Can CBS plese censor Philip and his whole body – makes you wanna change channels seeing him naked!
Modern Flop.
American Flop.
Flop Idol.
Guys with Flops.
Super Flop.
Survivor: Fans Vs. Flops.
Considering Chicago Fire beat Nashville and was only .2 behind CSI, I’d say it’s holding its own pretty well
So sad Guys with Kids missed chances to get an order.
Too many giant shows crushed its ratings.
Still expect it to get renewed.
TNN doesn’t get higher ratings even in less competition!!
Keep dropping Idol….keeeeeeeep dropping…
Nice to see Arrow go up. It was a good episode with Crixus making things interesting on the island.
@I love Survivor, but these “favs” are AWFUL.
Last season i read almost same excuses. I think people are tired from that show. The best option for cbs is sunday at 8 one cycle survivor one cycle amazing race for year. This is only way both to survive a litle longer.
Joseph, “The Middle” is as safe as can be. It’s a lock. It always does high 1s-low 2s heading into the final stretch of the season.
NBC will cancel WHITNEY and GUYS WITH KIDS in May. They have a Sean Hayes multi-cam in development they’ll likely pick up as 1 of 2 multi-cam comedies for next season. The network’s best bet for success with those would likely be a Tuesday at 8 launch leading into THE VOICE. Let them live or die on their own.
ABC will cancel THE NEIGHBORS, and slide SUBURGATORY back to 8:30 or potentially Tuesdays if they’re silly enough to try a comedy block there again.
Flops with Kids.
Good for SPN!!!! Arrow too.
Supernatural is awesome, against one or against all remains strong. I think the future of Supernatural will be Tablet of Demon = hell = Sam and Tablet of Heaven = Angel = Dean, hoping to see.
Arrow did good
Marc Berman is reporting that SPN had a 1.1 in the first half hour, so it hopefully will adjust up! Best episode of the season last night
