The Amazing Race 16 Ratings Thread
Caelestor:
A new season, a new thread :hearts:
As expected, the Winter Olympics cut our viewership down. :'( :'( :'( We averaged 9.07 million viewers and a 2.8 in 18-49.
However, we improved by 0.4 in the second half, so that's always good news.
In other news, Undercover Boss scored a whopping 5.1.

The Olympics will wipe out everything but I don't think it's that bad. The ratings for ABC were much worse then TAR.

Thanks for starting this thread, I just got back into town.
Just to give some perspective.
Ratings are compared year to year so we are getting compared to Season 14)
Season 14
Started with 9.198 million viewers and most importantly a 2.6 in adults 18- 49 (which to beat a dead horse) is the primary data used to set ad rates (in other words what generates revenue for CBS).
If our Fast Nationals hold (and it should be close).
We will have increased or year to year audience in adults 18-49 (CBS and really any network really could care less about total viewers). We also increased in adults 25-54, and stayed even with adults 18-34.
What is really amazing is our growth. Besides year to year comparisons the next largest indicator is how we faired compared to our lead in (60 minutes).
And in all regards we by far exceeded our typical growth (which is normally an increase of 30 - 60% in adults 18-49).
Last year this was our lead in.
60 minutes
13.11 million viewers and a 2.0 in adults 18-49
TAR 14
9.198 million viewers and a 2.6 in adults 18-49
So we lost a good chuck of its total viewers, yet improved 30% over it adults.
This year
60 minutes (based on Fast Nationals not finals)
8.205 million viewers and a 1.2 in adults 18-49
TAR 16
9.07 and a 2.8 in adults 18-49
Not only did we improve in total viewers over our lead in (which almost never happens with 60 minutes unless its a rerun and it was new). But we improved a huge over 130% (that is the largest increase TAR has ever had over 60 minutes).
mswood:
Finals are out.
60 min
8.222 million
1.2 in adults 18-49 (awful)
TAR

Undercover Boss

Cold Case
Was put up (but it was pretty bad especially when you consider its huge lead in).
