RaceUntilWeDie:
TAR really needs a new timeslot..
theschnauzers:
RacerUntilWeDie, the real problem is the vastly increasing number of viewers opting for time shifted and alternate media viewing. Except for live sports programming in prime time, every single broadcast network program in prime time is having the same pattern developing, the main difference being the proportion of viewing that time shift for each show, especially in the demographics pf 18-49 and 25-56.
We're also dealing with the rapid increase of cable viewership as a percentage of the whole number viewing at any one time.
And I'm having to time shift shows myself, although I record TAR anyhow, I'm recording other shows that night, and on some time I am literally recording 6 hours of prime time, and catching or recording repeat airing of one or two cable shows because of the programming overlaps. It's getting to be ridiculous!

THE AMAZING RACE 21 (8:56-9:56 PM) was second in households (6.0/09), viewers (9.54m) and adults 25-54 (3.5/07), and averaged 2.0/06 in adults 18-49. Compared to last week, THE AMAZING RACE was up +9% in households (from 5.5/08), +3% in adults 25-54 (from 3.4/08), was even in adults 18-49 and added +430,000 viewers (from 9.11m, +5%).

There was financial and business news coverage yesterday from industry analysts about the drop in the raw weekly figures for the broadcast nets across the board, which I take to mean, they're now figuring out that even the same day plus three numbers are proving inadequate to prove viewership.
The problem with the Tuesday weekly numbers are that they're just the live plus same day viewing, and they're not even the numbers advertisers are using now. So we'll have to wait and see if anyone in the media gets the more important live plus three days, or live plus seven day numbers.
