Please let me know if you have any questions.
I’d love to see how poorly Fox would do if it competed from 8-11 pm every night like the other networks do. Their ratings are a little skewed.
Bones and The Following! Yeah!
In what Universe does Idol lead Thursday vs. TBBT in the 49 demo?
@beached
Not airing from 10-11 doesn’t help CW.
But seriously, why should FOX do any worse at 10 than the other big nets. No reason that FOX can’t compete.
The Voice, where art thou?
Flame— THe press release said American Idol leads in the 18-49 demo for the combination of all three nights, so it is a clever mathematical statement. If you average CBS across all three nights, BBT’s advantage is diluted and American Idol wins.
Blah blah blah, there’s always a comment about Fox not having 10PM programming. The other networks don’t seem to care or whine about it though.
well, they FOX did program last Thursday at 10:00-10:30, and it went well
I had a feeling NBC was going to slip to 3rd place after placing 5th in the Feb sweeps. Their midseason schedule was a disaster with the likes of Smash & shows like Go On & TNN tanking without The Voice. Maybe they can recover before seasons end once The Voice & Revolution return.
Dan S, I think you mean their schedule excluding Sunday Night Football and The Voice is a disaster.
Fox has screwed over three of my favorite shows of all time so far.
