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.

When are the finals getting posted?
‘Castle’ was nothing short of AMAZING last night. Nathan Fillion’s preformance was EMMY worthy and should be even more so with the conclusion of this 2 part episode. As for promotion of this episode….I only saw it advertised once during the entire week before hand with no talk show appearances by the stars of the series. ‘Castle’ earned it’s ratings solely from very limited promotions and it’s loyal viewers. This series keeps getting better and better with each installment. Count me as a loyal viewer and I only just starting watching this series since September 2012. My stupidity for not catching it from the beginning in March 2009.
At least Castle is able to take advantage of a good lead in. Hawaii Five-0 , as always, is wasting the time slot. CBS comedy block is still strong, even with ROE there, but Hawaii Five-0 is killing the numbers for the network at 10 pm.
The Following is excellent. The ending yesterday was terrific. Happy with the numbers. Well deserved, KB is doing a great job,
Kari
Year right. When Castle is losing 0.8 to its lead in that it is ” taking advantage” but when H50 does similar thing then it is “wasting its time slot”. Now, that’s what I call “rational and unbiased comment”
I agree with the person who said cancel the whole CW Network lol That would be great. We will see that happen id put money on it.
Hey good for Castle, I was wondering who would win out — a big guest start on Five-0 or a two part storyline….

“HoD is cheap to make,cheaper than Nikita”
“Prove it.”
Stupidest post of the day!!
What’s with all comments about Bones being a bad lead-in? It’s FOX’s highest rated drama (outside of the following itself, of course) – even with a 2.1 it will probably easily place in 2nd unless glee jumps half a rating point. Sure, you can be remiss about how bad FOX’s ratings are currently but it is relative ratings that matter.
The only other option is to have a comedy or AI before it – however Bones is doing better than all non-Sunday comedies as well!

H50 actually lost 1.1 in the ratings and fell drastically in viewers compared to its lead in. This is actually a “good” week for H50 in terms of amount of loss. Castle is usually w/i .5 of the demo and always above in viewers for the Bachelor and at least H50 has a consistent lead in all year. Castle has to deal with multiple lead ins throughout the year and no promotion from ABC.
Dawn
I agree with you about Castle, but I just know the poster Kari. She will always write H50 is wasting its time slot no matters how well the show does in ratings and that’s has become irritating
Ateofi.
It doesn’t really matter much. Castle and H50 are not competing with each other. Castle is a better performer for abc than Hawaii Five O for CBS, when compared to the rest of the shows in their respectively networks.
Right now Hawaii five 0 is the cbs 10 pm show with the weakest competiton and the highest lead in. So the numbers make it an underperformer. And imagine when Revolution comes back. Probably a 1.8 demo.
When will the finals come in?
@Charmed
When will the finals come in?
Tomorrow; there’s still a backup due to Presidents’ Day.
@ Kari
Yeah 5-0′s ‘weak’ competition is your beloved Castle —— enjoy Castle’s huge win @ 2.2 – but it’s been number 2 pretty consistantly (by the way, final numbers haven’t posted)
I don’t understand your constant bashing of 5-0; I for one wish both shows success

^ nikita – toss up……..wtf?
Hart Of Dixie….likely, eh?
Not saying Castle won’t adjust down, but it hasn’t in several months, and same with H50 not adjusting up. That usually only happens when there are sports events airing.
I’m so happy to see Castle up! What a fantastic episode last night. Fingers crossed for a season high next week.
CW is already changing, moving away from soaps, which have been flopping for years now.
Guess CW Monday block will be new next year.
Finally, some good numbers for Castle. totally deserved it for sure… awesome episode. I hope this second half of the season keeps improving even further.
