Amazing Race 14 Ratings
mswood:
7.83 million and a 2.6 in adults.
It could have been a lot worse. I'm not disappointed.
mswood:
CBS for the nights
60 min 9.15 million and a 1.7 (hurt a lot more then we were)
TAR 7.83 2.6
Cold Case (R) 6.90 1.7
Unit (R) 5.43 1.2
Two years ago when we aired against the Oscars we did
TAR 8.17 million 2.9
So for two years ago, thats not that big of a drop.
TARAsia Fan:
Finishing 3rd in the timeslot after the Oscars abortion and NASCAR? Not bad. I'll post the overnights, mswood.
--- Quote ---TV Ratings: Oscars Rebound a Little
Academy Awards telecast improves a bit on last year
Fast National ratings for Sunday, Feb. 22, 2009
Preliminary numbers from Sunday's Academy Awards telecast show that ratings have ticked up a little from last year's historic low, while FOX had some success with NASCAR counter-programming.
ABC averaged a 16.9 rating/26 share in primetime, which is up about 9 percent from last year's fast national number of 15.5/24 (more accurate ratings will be available later in the day). FOX took second for the night at 5.7/9. CBS, 4.6/7, came in third, followed by NBC, 3.3/5, and The CW, 0.9/1.
ABC's adults 18-49 rating also improved over Oscar night last year -- the network scored a 9.5 Sunday, up over 8.4 in 2008. FOX grabbed second in the demographic with a 3.5. CBS, 1.8, edged NBC, 1.6, for third. The CW drew a 0.4.
The annual Barbara Walters Academy Awards special scored a 10.2/16 for ABC at 7 p.m. FOX's coverage of the NASCAR Autoclub 500 and CBS' "60 Minutes" each drew a 5.8/9, with FOX capturing more total viewers. "Dateline" earned a 2.9/5 for NBC. The CW went with "Jericho."
The Oscar red-carpet show, 17.1/26, and the start of the Academy Awards, 21.6/32, dominated at 8 p.m. for ABC. The NASCAR race on FOX delivered a 5.5/8, beating the 4.5/7 for "The Amazing Race" on CBS. "Dateline NBC" improved slightly to 3.1/5, while The CW aired the movie "Tomorrow Never Dies."
ABC scored a 19.6/29 at 9 p.m. as the Oscars continued. FOX's racing coverage finished with a 5.7/8. A "Cold Case" rerun, 4.4/7, kept CBS in third. "Most Outrageous Moments" took fourth for NBC. "Tomorrow Never Dies" concluded with a 1.1/2.

A 4.5/7 is decent and it shows that TAR has a loyal audience. Those numbers will go up next week.
