Nielsen Fast Nationals From Fri-Sun, July 13-15, 2007

It was Friday the 13^th and do you know that I am old enough to say that I watched the original Friday the 13^th in the theatre which included the Kevin Bacon in one of his first roles — I love that guy. ABC comes in first with ABC’s 20/20 having 1.9/7. CW’s WWE Friday Night Smackdown comes in second with 1.6/6. ABC’s George Lopez (Special) and CW’s WWE: Friday Night Smackdown tie in third place with 1.2/5. Where are my new episodes of Ghost Whisper? I’m jones’en over here.

For Saturday, FOX comes in first & second with America’s Most Wanted having 1.9/7 and Cops having 1.7/7. CBS comes in third with 48 Hours Mystery having 1.7/6. Don’t these viewers get their fill of criminals during the NBA regular season?

For Sunday, CBS comes in first with Big Brother 8 having 2.4/7. FOX plays a movie and milks the advertisers with Jurassic Park 2 having 1.9/5, which tied with Cold Case. And coming in forth, NBC with Law and Order: SVU having 1.8/5.

How do I read these ratings?

A Nielsen rating may look like this:

8pm – NBC – TVgasm The TV Show – 10.0/18

Focus on the 10.0/18. The RATING, 10.0, on the left represents the actual number of households that watched a show. One rating point equals 1,102,000 households. The SHARE, 18, on the right represents the show’s proportion of the total households watching television at that time.

For example, TVgasms TV Show has a 10 rating/18 share. That means 11,020,000 households are tuned in to the show and 18% of all the households with a TV turned on are watching that show.

Ratings and Share are customarily broken down for various DEMOs — a demographic grouping of viewers, like 18-49 adults or 2-12 children or 18-34 women, etc. Advertisers, and therefore networks, covet the 18-49 adult demo, and so tend to concentrate on that number.
