And these weekly numbers don't include all of the DVR Time-Shifting within one week. We can assume that it's less than one million, but signficant enough to make an impact on the demos. But clearly put TAR's audience well over 11 million so far this year.
(But I can't imagine what the DVR numbers were like Sunday.)
mswood:
Most of TAR DVR use is during its first night (Sunday night). And sites used to report the increase from its live viewing to its final live plus 7.
But this year most sites are reported just the gain from Live Same day (normal final numbers which do include that days DVR use) to final Live Plus 7.
Here is an example from last year. Episode 8.
Final numbers (live Same Day) 10.572 million viewers
Live viewers (people who watched only off the broadcast) 9.335 million
Live Plus 7 11.285 million viewers
Last year sites would have reported that DVR added 1.952 million viewers (we ranked 3rd overall in shows that had the highest percentage of DVR use during the same day).
Now this year all the data for that same episode would rate an increase of 713,000 because they are no longer separting the DVR use from the first day. Just the gains from days 2-7.
And so we are no longer going to see data for us on total viewers from DVR. But its not a bad thing. Frankly studiso earn nothing after the 3rd day. So they want as many people as possible watching during that first day.
And TAR doesn't do that well in that regard
Caelestor:
Football messed up the schedule (I'm on the West Coast :yess:). Three Rivers needs to go.
I really hope that TAR improves. TWOP and EW posters aren't too pleased with the tasks lately...
puddin:
I'm just reading my tvguide and they think the same for Three Rivers, its not drawing the younger audience they were hoping from The Amazing Race lead in. They give it a 50/50 chance.
