TAR 23 Ratings Information
« on: October 02, 2013, 11:36:50 PM »
We knew this day was coming.

CBS is not really providing overnight ratings numbers for its shows this year.
The earliest we may get is viewers in live plus three days; but CBS is saying in a press release Monday that they're getting the most complete information about viewership when they're about to include online or alternative platform data that takes in 30 days after broadcast.

So if you are wondering, I have been checking for information that is more than the overnights (which we would get Monday mornings) or at least the weeklys (which we'd usually get on Tuesdays) and it looks as if the earliest we may see data from CBS would be live plus three days or later. I have a feeling I won't be able to access the real data since I'm not in the advertising business, or the television business, but maybe some of the others will be able to poach that information from time to time.

TAR23 Ratings Thread - Prelim Numbers Have Episode 3 at Series Low
« Reply #2 on: October 14, 2013, 11:39:13 AM »
After TAR23 opened with the series' lowest season premiere numbers ever, last night's episode 3 may have garnered the series' lowest ratings ever.

According to preliminary ratings, the episode got a 1.8 18-49 rating with 8.07 million viewers.
That number could still get adjusted up with final ratings tomorrow, but it could still match the 1.9 series low from episode 2 of TAR22 which aired against the Oscars last February.

I hope the ratings improve. I think Sunday Night Football was popular last night, Tom Brady vs Drew Brees.

It was Dallas/Washington on NBC and Detroit/Boston in the MLB Playoffs on FOX last night. Brady/Brees preceded 60 minutes on CBS.

What affected the entire CBS Sunday schedule was the 16 million plus viewers who watched the season premiere of The Walking Dead on cable Sunday night. What we won't know for a couple of weeks is the level of time shifted viewing last night into the week or month ahead for the TAR episode last night.

Looks like TAR has been taking major poundings from AMC this season. First by Heisenberg (for the premiere), and now, zombies.

Sadly, The Amazing Race's viewership ratings will probably never go back up to 10 million due to a good line-up of programming on Sundays since forever, but you know that cliché phrase, "times are tough". Sunday Night NFL, The Walking Dead on AMC, Once Upon A Time & Revenge on ABC, and even Duck Dynasty reruns on A&E are trying to squish TAR ratings to cancellation.

But you know what, TAR will do better this Sunday. If it can reach 9.5 million viewers on the second Leg, it is possible for them to score a higher audience base. TAR4's ratings were way worse than this and let's make magic happen and pray that Norway will capture America's hearts.

The NFL overrun will also boost TAR's numbers this Sunday.

If the ratings continue to drop, I wonder how much wonder it will last?

Judging from a few other message boards that I frequent, I notice with each subsequent season, the number of posts have been decreasing, along with fewer people posting about it. All of this, are not good signs.

To be honest I don't see The Amazing Race getting old, or getting cancelled somehow... The variety in teams, locations, tasks, everything that is basic to the show is something that at least in my opinion will never get old enough to be cancelled...

Episode 2 was helped by an NFL game that was the "highest-rated program on television in the metered markets since the 2013 Academy Awards," and The Walking Dead didn't premiere yet.

I don't expect this Sunday's episode to get a big bump.

The CBS doubleheader games aren't that good this week.  A long NFL overrun will push TAR into direct competition with The Walking Dead on the east coast, and The Walking Dead will easily beat TAR.  It also doesn't help that NBC has a strong Sunday night game this week.

Something y'all seem to forget. Over half of all US households now have the capacity to time shift viewing, not to mention online viewing of streaming video after broadcast.
CBS in particular (through CBS's CEO Les Moonves) has stated that they're looking at Live plus seven and all platforms within 30 days as to how many people are viewing CBS shows. We don't get to see that information unless CBS tells us since Nielsen hasn't yet moved into the all platform measurements.
The other thing to realize is that all the networks are having the same level of decrease in live plus same day numbers, especially on Sundays, which is due to a number of factors including cable programming.
The other thing is that TAR continues to attract the high income households which is a ratings goldmine for advertisers; for example, Ford Motor Company (as its called these days) is a sponsor of TAR and Hawaii Five-0 and TAR still has Travelocity as a sponsor as well, per the closing credits. TAR makes money for CBS, and that is the bottom line.

TVbythenumbers wrote a piece about how Live+3 day or Live+7 day ratings are just network PR spin that don't really matter.

The rating numbers this week appear to be about the same as last week, maybe up slightly. The good news is that it beat everyone for the night except football and 60 minutes. The bad news is that it's about the same numbers as last week.

That's just the demo (18-49).

Per TVLine.com quoting CBS, the overall audience was up 10 percent, to over 9 million, and of course, we'll have to see what effect the additional 15 minute delay in some markets have on the final numbers.

(As an aside, TAR had about 2 million more eyeballs than The Mentalist at 10/10:30, so in terms of view viewing that night, it was one of the better viewed broadcast shows. (And of course, with Indy-Denver playing on NBC Sunday Night Football, that would have still attracted a larger audience than a typical Sunday Night game.

No adjustment in the demo, so this week's episode ties last week's series low.   :'(

8.87 million viewers and a 1.9/5 18-49 rating.
