Title: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on February 15, 2009, 11:31:06 PM: Updated with corrections
Well we should get some rating data tomorrow, but I do have one piece of info that does sort of apply.

DVR viewership is on the rise with the public use typically between 15 to 25% of the audience who watch not when it airs, but at their own time.

Unfortunately this doesn't ad typical ad revenue to a show (as Neilsen has reported less then 5% watch any of the commercials). But eventually (if not currently) product placement will generate revenue based on DVR use, and most importantly how close to the actual air time people watch that program.

Here is the good news. Out of all programming Amazing Race has the 2nd best ratio of DVR use during the actual day its broadcast (only Dancind with the Stars Result show did better) with 69% of its DVR audience watching the show on the same day. So if TAR has in its contract payment for product placement, then they will get a good (in comparison to other shows) chunk of chance. The closer to the actual air time the happier advertisers are.

And for the Fall season TAR 6th highest performing show for CBS with DVR use (so again not a lot of revenue is generated here), but it all helps and since networks know that more and more people view television in this medium, the better you overall performance (which is very good for CBS) and its percentage on the same day (exceptional for CBS) are key points.

ANd here is a shout out to the greatest use of effective product placement this show has ever had. Welcome Google, it fits perfectly into the show and of course generates additional ad revenue.

Post by: SingularStars on February 16, 2009, 11:25:39 AM: I found the ratings data, and it seems that DVRs have definitely taken an effect, not the best start... but it's obviously not gonna get cancelled if it can still pull these numbers! ;D

CBS – The Amazing Race (season premiere)
Viewers: 9.42 million (#1), A18-49: 2.6/ 7 (#2)

CBS – The Amazing Race (season premiere)
Viewers: 9.15 million (#2), A18-49: 2.7/ 7 (#1t)

This averages to 9.29 million and a 2.7 demo.

Post by: mswood on February 16, 2009, 11:36:56 AM: Yeah this is disappointing.

2nd lowest opening performance for TAR. And that demo (for TAR) is quite low.

Now to the positive.

Still highest demo performance for CBS.

60 min 13.08 2.1
Cold Case 10.8 2.5
Unit 8.31 2.2

Post by: TARAsia Fan on February 16, 2009, 12:07:38 PM: The fact that TAR was #1 in 18-49 is what CBS wants. The numbers may have been down from the fall, but you don't have an NFL game leading in this time around. CBS will still take those numbers. Plus, TAR has had a nice stable timeslot for a few seasons. That's helping.

TAR did help CBS win the night over ABC and a new "Housewives" episode to boot.

Quote
Sunday was a pretty quiet night in the Nielsens, with ABC's "Desperate Housewives" somewhat soft and no network breaking out of the pack.

CBS led the night with a 6.4 rating/10 share, beating out ABC's 6.0/10. NBC finished third in households at 3.4/6, but FOX, 3.3/5, had a few more total viewers. The CW drew a 1.0/2.

ABC led the adults 18-49 demographic with a 3.3 rating. FOX finished second at 2.7, beating out CBS' 2.3. NBC averaged 1.3 and The CW 0.5.

CBS jumped on top at 7 p.m. with "60 Minutes," 8.3/14. "America's Funniest Home Videos," 4.6/8, came in second for ABC. "Dateline" drew a 3.2/5 for NBC. The conclusion of the Daytona 500 and an "American Dad" rerun averaged 2.6/4 for FOX. The CW aired a "Jericho" rerun and the start of the James Bond movie "Goldeneye."

The premiere of the latest "Amazing Race," 5.5/9, kept CBS on top at 8 p.m. A second hour of "Dateline" improved to 5.4/9 on NBC. A rerun of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" took third for ABC. "The Simpsons," 3.8/7, and "King of the Hill," 3.0/5, were fourth for FOX. "Goldeneye" earned a 1.1/2 for The CW.

ABC took the lead at 9 p.m. with "Desperate Housewives," 8.6/13. CBS dropped to second with "Cold Case," 6.6/10. FOX moved up to third with "Family Guy," 4.1/6, and "American Dad," 3.5/5, beating the conclusion of the miniseries "XIII" on NBC. The CW's movie finished with a 1.3/2.

"Brothers & Sisters," 6.1/10, led the 10 p.m. hour for ABC. "The Unit" scored a 5.1/9 for CBS, while "XIII" finished with a modest 2.5/4 on NBC.

While it is true viewer levels across teh board were down, so its quite possible that in the coming weeks we will see a build in ratings.

Could be, but on the whole, network viewership has been down this season. And with the digital conversion, ratings could really out of whack until people finally get settled.

Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on February 18, 2009, 10:03:03 PM: The problem for us, is that in comparison to the rest CBS is doing fairly well, its not in the position where it has to green lite moderate performers.

I mean we got beat in the primary 18-49 demo by a repeat. Now With ratings like these we probably wont get two cycles, but with the short nature of its 11 episodes, its a safe beat to get one (even if its just as a whole filler like cycle 12 was, though that one performed exceptionally well).

TAR 4 was nearly the last season.. until TAR 5 came nearly more than one year later after producers decided to give it another go. :yess:

Maybe they should cast some celebrity on the show if ratings are hell.. i've heard Sarah Jessica Parker really wanted to do it. :funny:
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on February 21, 2009, 12:37:14 AM: Oh we can't judge the season based off of just this one episode (nor would I get to worried about this week's which historically is going to perform probably between 7.5 and 8.5 million viewers thanks to the Academy Awards).

We are also going to lose some (how much is still uncertain) due to those whose stations switched to digital and don't have either Cable (or dish), already have HD, or don't have a digital converter box. This could be 10,000's to much higher. BUt that one should effect all programming and not just one show or one night.

But, even if the show doesn't peak up much for this cycle and with the lower ratings of cycle 13, CBS is extremely likely to renew it. TAR has a wonderful advantage (over scripted hour longs) in that it can serve three purposes. It can act as regular prime time programming (2 cycles a year in the Fall and Spring, what we all want the most), it can act as a replacement programming (for when shows perform poorly and CBS needs a quick replacement, see last year with cycle 12), and it can perform as original summer fare.

Really the question is how does CBS see the show for its coming year. And if the ratings don't pick up much, I can see them not going with the first option. But I would say they would pick option 2 at the very least. Its demo performance pretty much gives us that, if nothing else.

But if the show can pick itself up to last cycles levels, I see two full cycles.

Post by: puddin on February 21, 2009, 12:45:41 AM: A lot of people might know that you can now watch current episodes on the Travel Channel, and the CBS website as well then theres always youtube, torrents and all that crap.
Also I just read at sucks that it can be bought, the whole season? for 20 some $$, on Itunes but haven't checked that out.
Lots of good feedback in the media too, they gave episode 1 rave reviews and hopefully it sparks peoples interest.

Darn Oscars this Sunday #$%$%#% HATE!
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on February 21, 2009, 10:31:22 AM: Puddin OMG I am so excited to that CBS has finally jumped on the itunes bandwagon for TAR.

As someone who has hated that you can't get DVD's of teh show (for the most part) that CBS should make that content available for sale somewhere digitally. It cost the studio literally almost nothing, and while they only get between 1/3 to a half of the cost back, its still better then someone like myself who will torrent the show, but will also buy copies to support my show.

Oh and we are currently the top selling season of Reality TV, over Survivor (which has a far larger US fan base), thats a good sign.

I'm downloading my first episode right now to compare the quality.

And even though itunes (or other digital sights) don't generate a ton of sales, every little bit does help.

Let us know how it looks mswood. On another note, Nascar will most likely run through 8:00 ET as well this Sunday :groan:
Fox has it going until 10 p.m.

And granted, none of the major awards will be handed out during the first half hour of the Oscars (it starts at 8:30 after that red carpet abortion), but you know people will be on ABC instead of CBS in that first hour.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on February 21, 2009, 01:52:38 PM: With both the Oscars and Nascar hitting the east coast (and the Oscars the west) I would expect that this week could be the lowest rated episode of TAR in its history during the regular prime time season.

That was 8.04 in an episode of the third season.

Hopefully, though we wont hit the lows of the summer cycle of TAR 4.

That low (and summer always scores lower) was a 6.93 million viewers.

I hope that we don't sink that low.

If TAR managed to keep an average of above 8 million viewers, it might be good news. :tup:

Post by: TARAsia Fan on February 21, 2009, 10:49:36 PM: The first half hour of the Oscars usually has a long musical introduction and a monologue. With this year's host being Hugh Jackman, there won't be a comedic monologue. He can sing, so there might be a song and dance number. Then one major award is announced, either Best Supporting Actress or Actor. After that, it's a long way to a major award so TAR's ratings might be helped in that respect.

However, with NASCAR going late, that is definitely going to hurt. I do think the Oscars will have a 18 to 20 share in the first half hour. TAR might be lucky to eke out a 6 share.

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.

At 10 p.m., the Oscars posted an 18.5/30 (the telecast ran until a few minutes before midnight). "Most Outrageous Moments" earned a 4.2/7 for NBC, beating the 3.6/6 for "The Unit" on CBS.

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

But still the viewer totals are really good.

Better then anny episode of season 9, better then all but two episodes of All Stars (those are the last two seasons that aired in the Spring).

JESSE STONE LEADS CBS TO SUNDAY WIN IN VIEWERS
"Jesse Stone: Thin Ice," Starring Tom Selleck, Delivers 15.1 Million Viewers

"The Amazing Race 14" Dashes to Its Best Deliveries in Viewers and Key Demographics[/b

"60 Minutes" Places First in Viewers

CBS placed first in viewers on Sunday led by the CBS MOVIE SPECIAL: JESSE STONE: THIN ICE and the best deliveries in all key measures for THE AMAZING RACE 14, according to Nielsen preliminary live plus same day ratings for March 1.

From 9:00-11:00 PM, JESSE STONE: THIN ICE, the fifth movie in the Jesse Stone franchise starring Tom Selleck, was first in households (9.3/14), viewers (15.13m), while averaging 3.5/08 in adults 25-54 and 2.2/05 in adults 18-49. Compared to the last JESSE STONE movie (on Tuesday, May 22, 2007), CBS added +2.09m viewers (from 13.04m, +16%).

At 8:00 PM, THE AMAZING RACE 14 was second in households (6.3/10) and viewers (10.75m) while averaging a 3.9/09 in adults 25-54 and 3.0/08 in adults 18-49. Compared to last week, THE AMAZING RACE was up +43% in households (from 4.4/07), +18% in adults 25-54 (from 3.3/07), +15% in adults 18-49 (from 2.6/06), +17% in adults 18-34 (from 1.8/05) and added +2.94m viewers (from 7.81m, +38%). This is THE AMAZING RACE 14's best delivery in all these measures.

At 7:00 PM, 60 MINUTES was first in households (9.0/15), viewers (14.12m), second in adults 25-54 (3.4/08) and averaged a 2.2/06 in adults 18-49. Compared to last week, 60 MINUTES was up +55% in households (from 5.8/09), +48% in adults 25-54 (from 2.3/06), +38% in adults 18-49 (from 1.6/05) and added +4.94m viewers (from 9.18m, +55%).
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on March 02, 2009, 01:34:48 PM: Yeah, I like the ratings, but a good chunk of that increase probably can be laid at the feet of the Jesse TV movie, which did fairly well viewer wise (though poorly in the demo). It would explain why the demo number for TAR was a little lower then I would expect with those viewer numbers.

I would guess that more people who watch 60 minutes kept TAR on so they could then watch Jessie.

Oh well, doesn't matter well take it.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: TARAsia Fan on March 02, 2009, 05:20:50 PM: Doesn't matter if Tom was a factor, TAR did better than last week especially in this era where networks and cable are virtually on equal footing now. I'll take it as well, mswood.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on March 02, 2009, 07:49:19 PM: DVR results are in for the week of Feb 9-15 (TAR 14th first episode) and the results are....

Who knows.

They publish two top twenty lists. One showing the largest increase in viewers, and one charts the largest percentage increase.

We didn't make either list. Now that doesn't mean a whole lot. It means that we didn't gain at least 1.883 million viewers with DVR use over 7 days (which we almost never do), and we didn't see an increase of at least 20% over the live viewer levels (we typically are at 17-18%).

CBS normally doesn't score high on increase by percentage (TAR Is on average CBS highest show in this category). And no CBS show makes the Percentage increase list this week.

I would be worried if next week we aren't on the list. With a lower number of people watching live (we should see a spike in the percentage increase).

Oh well. Because we don't have a ton of viewers and CBS in general has a low DVR ratio, we should probably expect to have several weeks with no data. But by CBS standards we have a very high ratio of DVR users.

tory,

sweeps was in february. the next sweeps period is in may.

Actually tory is correct this last Thursday was the official start of sweeps.

Normally this is during the month of February, but due to the planned national switchover to HD signal they (whoever decides when the sweeps periods are) delayed it. They didn't want to see any confusion (or large segments of the population without coverage) to hit the period where ad rates are set. So they pushed it to start on March 5th.

Of course, they didn't expect for the President to ask the FCC to delay the switchover. But since over a third of the nations stations did in fact already switch over (though typically not the largest markets), it worked out okay.

At 7:00 PM, 60 MINUTES was first in households (8.5/15), viewers (13.13m), adults 25-54 (3.1/09) and adults 18-49 (2.2/07).

Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on March 09, 2009, 01:38:33 PM: After sleeping in (took a vacation day) I was pleasantly surprised how little we dropped from last week.

As Puddin mentioned

We did 10.22 million, 3.0 in the adult 18-49 demo, 3.7 in the adults 25-54, and a 2.1 in the adults 18-34.

We ended the night with what should be (based on half hour breakdowns) CBS strongest performer in 18-49 (Cold Case should be marginally lower based on half hours they had a 2.9 and 3.0, we had a 2.9 and 3.1), and the 18-34, Cold Case was next closest with a 1.8. The only Demo we didn't win was the 25-54 (We placed 2nd to Cold Case). But that demo per person generates less revenue then either the 18-34 or the most profitable 18-49. So really good news.

Compared to the last two spring session (All Stars the only one on Sunday) and TAR 9 (which was on a Wednesday), we were up in total viewers (something we always want to see)

TAR 9 9.67 million viewers and a 4.0 (yes a 4.0) in the adult 18-49 demo
All Stars 10.00 million viewers and a 3.3 in adults 18-49

The only downside is the decline in the 18-49 demo. Now I wouldn't really compare it to Season 9 (as Sunday is CBS oldest skewing night, so obviously we should do worse here), and since its been two years since All Stars being down .3 isn't bad (most shows are down that much plus being down 20% in total viewers.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on March 09, 2009, 01:45:15 PM: Oh and last week against two shows that did 14 and 15 million in total viewers (nearly 4 and 5 million more then we did) and skew older.

We beat them in all three major demos. Obviously in the 18-34, and in the 18-49. But even with just 2/3rd of the total audience we beat them in the 25-54 demo.

I have to Ask how old is the typical viewer who watches 60 minutes I would guess 55 and older. Yikes.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: TARAsia Fan on March 09, 2009, 01:59:48 PM: 60 Minutes does skew older, mswood. I'll have to check the numbers, but the median age for CBS is somewhere around 46 to 47 with Fox around 42.

Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on March 10, 2009, 02:06:46 PM: DVR Results for episode #2 are out.

This episode got in Final numbers a 7.813 million viewers (which counts all viewers who watched it live or before 2am, and they have counted this way since TAR has been on the air).

The number of people who actually watched it live (8pm to 9pm) were 6.528 million.

Another 1.984 million watched it using DVR (or VCR) within 7 days

So our live plus 7 total viewers was 8.512 million viewers

That is the 2nd highest increase TAR has ever had. THe first was the Season 12 final episode (Which like this episode had a huge amount of competition, that time from the 40,000 million who watched the NFC championship game). But that season was one of the most viewed seasons of TAR.

There are two charts. The 1st is just the increase number of viewers. On that chart we ranked 16th (Only 5 shows on CBS did better). The 2nd charts the percentage increase in total viewers in those 7 days of DVR use. We ranked 8th with 23.3% of our total audience being from DVRs.

I mentioned a report that was done for the fall part of the season that stated the percentage of viewers that used DVR's to watch a program the same day it aired. The reason that is important is those are the only DVR results that actually get used in figuring out ad rates (we report those numbers as Fast Nationals and Final numbers). Last Fall out of all programs Amazing Race averaged the 2nd highest percentage.

Well this week 64.8% of all the people who used DVR to watch the show watched it before the night was over. For the week we had the 4th highest percentage for people who watched the show on their DVR before the night was over. (Academy Awards #1, American Idol Results Show #2, Survivor #3).

THe studios love this. Again DVR use after the first day brings in very little revenue. It also gives an indicator to show loyalty.

Take two shows with the same number of viewers. If they see that most of the DVR use for one of the shows happens 3 -4 days later, while the other is almost entirely that same day it aired. They know that one has the more devoted fan base.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: TARAsia Fan on March 10, 2009, 02:49:13 PM: Meaning TAR has a loyal fan base. CBS knows this. I think this is good news for definitely one season. Two cycles could be in the cards as well.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on March 10, 2009, 03:37:48 PM: Yeah I don't think we have any worries at all about getting at least one cycle. And hell I can't believe how much we held this week. If we can maintain over 10 million and stay near 3.0 in the demo, I think we are solid for two cycles.

Even with CBS in general doing fairly well this year.

Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: TARAsia Fan on March 10, 2009, 03:43:28 PM: Very true, mswood. Even against the Fox powerhouse of American Idol, CBS is holding its own. The Sunday night lineup is fairing well in the overall numbers, despite skewing older. The Monday night comedies are a good alternative to "Dancing with the non-Stars" and the network does well on other nights as well.

But as far as TAR is concerned, the fact that it's taking applications for 15 is a good sign. We should know at the upfronts whether CBS will give the show two cycles for the next season. If I were a betting man, I would say chances are pretty decent.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on March 10, 2009, 04:18:11 PM: Updated with more info

Final numbers are out for this week.

TAR managed a 10.128 million total viewers and a 3.1 in adults 18-49 (the best for CBS that night) and a 6.1/10 Household 2.1 in adults 18-34(best for CBS that night), and a 3.8 in adults 25-54 (2nd best of the night for CBS, Cold Case got a 3.9).

We also won the full hour in total viewers, adults 18-49 (though Simpsons won its half hour), and adults 25-54.

We ranked 17th out of all CBS shows and 27th for all networks.

And here is the kicker.

We ranked higher in total viewers then every single NBC program (God NBC is in such pathetic shape).

We ranked higher then all but 5 programs on Fox (3 of them being American Idol).

We ranked higher then all but 6 programs on ABC (3 of them being the Bachelor, WTF!!!)

THats how well CBS is doing, in comparison to the other networks.

And CBS is in money problems, and they have cut the number of pilots that they were going to film (a good sign that much of CBS schedule is going to stay).
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: TARAsia Fan on March 10, 2009, 08:11:49 PM: NBC should just go to basic cable, they would get about the same ratings. Looks like TAR is gaining strength as the season is going along. Next week is key. If the ratings go up for a third consecutive week, then CBS can say this cycle was a bona fide hit.

CBS wins Sunday night in total viewers; "Kings" bombs on NBC
posted by halboedeker on Mar 16, 2009 11:47:03 AM

CBS was the most-watched network Sunday night, thanks to strong showings by "60 Minutes," "The Amazing Race," "Cold Case" and "The Unit."

Disney-owned ABC, however, was the favorite of the 18-to-49 age group, thanks primarily to "Desperate Housewives." CBS placed second in that count.

"Desperate Housewives" was the night's most-watched program with 14.4 million viewers. CBS' "Cold Case" ran second at 9 with 12.9 million viewers.

There was very bad news for NBC: The two-hour premiere of "Kings" tanked with just 6 million viewers.

Here are the winners in other time slots: At 7 p.m., "60 Minutes" delivered 12.6 million viewers to CBS.

At 8, "The Amazing Race" pulled in 10.4 million and outpaced ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" with 9.4 million.

At 10, "The Unit" enlisted 10.9 million for CBS. ABC's "Brothers & Sisters" was closed behind with 10.6 million. "Celebrity Apprentice" pulled 6.7 million to NBC.

For the night, CBS averaged 11.7 million. Here's how other broadcasters fared: ABC with 10.5 million, NBC with 5.7 million, Fox with 4.8 million and The CW with 1 million.

2.1 adults 18-34 (easily CBS best of the night) tied with Extreme Maker (which normally beats us here, so a tie is really good)
3.8 in adults 25-54 (Cold Case beat us with a 4.1)

But all around a solid consistent night. Putting are viewer average up to 9.66 million. I really hope we keep this up. I want this season to be higher rated then the fall (almost never happens), and higher then the last spring cycle (we are very, very close right now).

Post by: tg1789 on March 19, 2009, 11:05:52 PM: Hey, I'm a huge fan of the show (one of my favorites on televisions). I'm glad to see a forum dedicated to TAR and its ratings as I always look for the fast nationals Monday mornings @ pifeedback.com.

Anyways, Sunday's episode has a 60 Min. with Obama as a lead-in. The last time this happened was on 11/16/08. The line-up has about a half-hour overrun which scored approx. 25.34 million viewers and a 7.7 in the demo. 60 Min. got 25.104 million viewers and a 6.3 in the demo. TAR followed with 12.124 million viewers and a 3.5 in the demo. So, the rentention wasn't great. But, the ratings were good for TAR.

I think this Sunday the rating might be slightly lower for 60 Min. (without the football to help it) say...20 million and a 5.5 in the demo. However, if TAR can either keep doing how it's been doing or push its demo up to a 3.4 or so, it would have better retention.

Anyways, I'm happy that TAR has won its timeslot against orginal Extreme Makeover: Home Edition in their last two head-to-heads. Hopefully, it can keep it up. I think it deserves too.

If TAR is able to keep the ratings its been getting, I think we'll get two cycles. Million Dollar Password's failure in being a demo performer in the timeslot certainly helped.

Welcome to the forum! :waves: :waves:

There will be an overrun this week in the Eastern half of the country due to the NCAA Tournament so that will help ratings as Obama will definitely raise ratings for 60 Minutes and then the audience will stay for TAR.

Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: TARAsia Fan on March 20, 2009, 01:49:36 PM: CBS will have three games in the 5 p.m. window for the NCAA Tournament. Their projected start times are 4:50 p.m., 5 p.m. and 5:20 p.m.

Each game takes just over 2 hours to complete. CBS will cut into each game so the entire nation sees the finish and then the East and Central time zones will join 60 Minutes in its entirety probably around 7:30 p.m. So expect TAR to start around 8:20 - 8:30 p.m. provided there's not an overtime period.

I get the CBS Sports press releases so I do have their tip times for the Tournament for this weekend. :)

Post by: puddin on March 23, 2009, 11:25:09 AM: Fast National ratings for Sunday, March 22, 2009.

CBS controlled Sunday night's ratings, but how did the network do it? Was it largely run-over from a series of close NCAA second round games? Was it a "60 Minutes" interview with President Barack Obama? It's hard to know.

Among adults 18-49, CBS won the night with a 3.5 rating, nipping the 3.4 rating for ABC. FOX was a distant third with a 3.4 rating, followed by the 2.1 rating for NBC. The CW was fifth with a 0.3 rating.

Overall, CBS had things easier with an estimated 13.55 million viewers and an 8.3 rating/14 share, though those are likely to change, as is the nature with life events. ABC was well back in second with a 6.5/11, comfortably ahead of the 4.1/7 for NBC. FOX's 3.0/5 and The CW's 0.6/1 followed.

In the 7 p.m. hour, CBS won with the 9.5/17 combination of NCAA Tournament games and "60 Minutes." NBC was second with a 4.3/8 for "Dateline NBC," nipping ABC's "America's Funniest Home Videos" in the ratings, though ABC's show was ahead in viewers. FOX' "Hole in the Wall" was fourth, beating The CW's 0.6/1 for a repeat of "Jericho."

At 8 p.m. CBS had a 9.9/16 for the combination of "60 Minutes" and "The Amazing Race." ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" had a 5.8/9 for second. FOX's "The Simpsons" and "King of the Hill" averaged 3.5/6 between them, beating the dismal 2.9/5 for the second week of "Kings" on NBC. The CW's broadcast of "The Mod Squad" was fifth.

ABC moved into first at 9 p.m. with a 9.2/14 for "Desperate Housewives." CBS fell to second with a 7.0/11 for the combination of "The Amazing Race" and "Cold Case." NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice" and FOX's "Family Guy" and "American Dad" tied with a 4.1/6, with FOX holding an actual advantage in both viewers and the 18-49 demo. The CW's movie was last.

"Brothers & Sisters" had a 7.0/11 to win the 10 p.m. hour for ABC. CBS' "Cold Case" and "The Unit" was second with a 6.8/11. NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice" improved in its second hour, but still finished third.

Post by: mswood on March 23, 2009, 12:47:34 PM: Here is the rough Fast National data (we could see quite a bit of change in final numbers on this one).

11.627 million Viewers 3.2 in the 18-49 demo and a 2.2 in adults 18-34

With this having such a large overrun 60 minutes was the show that benefited the most (plus its Obama interview) as it won easily beat us in all demo groups and it viewers (in viewers it was the highest rated show of the night).

Hard to accurately judge Fast Nationals with such a big overrun (as they will have some changes with the correction of Pacific and East Coast times.

Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on March 23, 2009, 01:22:55 PM: Tory

It's quite possible those numbers can fall (or rise) last year for example in a similar situation we had a Fast National score of 12.520 million and dropped to a 11.996 million.

Either way its a good number for the show (I was hoping for marginally higher) but typically with overruns we get good sized increase with overruns of 15-45 minutes, after that the benefit starts to decrease. With us nearly starting on the hour it makes it easier for people to switch to the other networks without missing anything or losing much time.

One thing I do want to point out. When we exclude the episode against the Oscars and we eliminate all sports overruns at this point we are actually performer stronger then season 13 (Which was the only season on Sunday to see year to year declines).

And since networks tend to judge versus on same day year to year data, we are currently averaging just a little over 300,000 viewers less then All Stars (the last time we aired in the spring. Which is a decline of only 3% over two years. With most shows losing 5-10% each season that a great for our decline. And if we can manage to stay at 9.3 million or better for the rest of the season (on average) we will actually end with a higher viewer average. Soethig we really, really want to see.

SPORTS, NEWS AND ENTERTAINMENT DRIVE CBS TO SUNDAY NIGHT WIN IN VIEWERS AND KEY DEMOGRAPHICS

Sports (NCAA MENS BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP), News (60 MINUTES) and Entertainment (THE AMAZING RACE 14 and COLD CASE) combined to give CBS a Sunday win in viewers and key demographics, according to Nielsen preliminary live plus same day ratings for March 22.

Editors Note: CBS’s prime time ratings include a 52-minute runover for CBS Sports coverage of the NCAA MENS BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP. As a result, all regularly scheduled prime time programs were broadcast off the clock, and ratings and rankings for The Network and the individual series are tentative and subject to change.

CBS Sunday included Steve Kroft's interview with President Obama on 60 MINUTES which was seen by at least 16 million viewers.

Preliminary estimates for CBS's primetime entertainment programming include THE AMAZING RACE 14 (11.63m) and COLD CASE (10.79m).

For the night, CBS was first in households (8.3/14), viewers (13.55m), adults 25-54 (4.4/11) and adults 18-49 (3.5/09).

Post by: TARAsia Fan on March 24, 2009, 02:38:55 PM: Wow, those are staggering numbers. To get over 10 million viewers is an achievement, but to get 12.4 million in this day and age is certainly noteworthy. Now, how much of that was an Obama bounce and from the NCAA Tournament whose numbers are up 6% from last year, we don't know, but to hold that much of the audience from 60 Minutes is very good.

Next week, we'll have another overrun which will help especially if North Carolina, an NCAA Tournament brand name, is in the late game. Ratings will go up if 1) the game is close and 2) 60 Minutes has another blockbuster night like it has for the last two weeks (Federal Charman Bernanke and President Obama).
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on March 24, 2009, 03:35:15 PM: Yes its a great result (and unlike last time it occured we actually went up in Finals.

Here is the kicker. This is the 2nd highest rated episode of AR since we moved to Sundays. Season's 12 opener after the huge Patriots Overrun is the only time we have scored higher on Sunday.

Its the highest spring performance ever on a Sunday.

More Historic Data its officially 10th highest viewed episode out of all 14 seasons of TAR.

Only beat (not in order of viewers, too lazy).
Season 1: Season finale
Season 2: 3rd episode which aired I believe after Survivor
Season 5: 2 hour season finale
Season 6: 2 hour season finale
Season 7: 5 episodes in the season including the 2 hour season finale
Season 12: Season Preimere.

Its a great, great performance.

It makes our season average push over the 10 million and gives us a 3.0 18-49 average. We would like to stay close to that. So basically what happened is this made up for the terrible performance against the Oscars.

CBS.com Posts Record Month in Unique Viewers, Streams, and Minutes
Network Website had 21 million unique viewers for February
By David Tanklefsky -- Broadcasting & Cable, 3/24/2009 3:35:00 PM MT
CBS.com recorded a record-setting 21 million unique viewers for the month of February, with a 576% increase for the month compared to last year. The site also saw large year-by-year increases in streams (up 315%) and total minutes (up 452%).

“We continue to see growth to CBS.com as a result of our strategy to bring our content to where fans are through hundreds of CBS Audience Network partners," said Bill Binenstock, VP of CBS.com in a statement.

The growth of CBS.com is driven by a multi-partner syndication strategy which includes 300 partner sites that stream content from CBS.com through the audience network. CBS.com also capitalized on success of shows like The Amazing Race by building out behind-the-scenes video content related to the programming as well as games and online contest.

The network can also thank Joaquin Phoenix, whose incoherent rambling interview on David Letterman Feb. 11 delivered more than 7.5 million clips views online the week following the Late Show broadcast

Post by: georgiapeach on March 26, 2009, 09:47:37 AM: Am I reading this right?? We had the largest percentage except for the Wed American Idol show?? WOW!
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on March 26, 2009, 03:13:11 PM: Peach that percentage is those who used DVR's to watch that same day. And on this we do exceptionally well.

And that is good. Those viewers count equally as those who watch the show live (and in fact are including in the final ratings).

And as more viewers go to DVR's for their typical viewing habit studios look for programs that have a high rate of immediate use. Because the longer it is you take to watch a DVR program the less money the studio gets. After 3 days the studio get virtually nothing.

Post by: TARAsia Fan on March 30, 2009, 09:15:19 AM: The NCAA Tournament ratings have been up 8% overall this season and even with blowouts on Friday, the ratings went up. So, with that in mind, I do expect things to go well for TAR again this week. There may be a slight down tick from last week, but not much. Still enough to win the night for CBS because they won both Friday and Saturday nights thanks to college basketball.

Now in two weeks when we have The Masters, if Tiger Woods is in contention or winning in the final round, watch the ratings for the overrun go up. Plus The Masters has this strange power over CBS that it has to run the Green Jacket ceremony at the Butler Cabin in its entirety. This is the previous year's winner putting on the ceremonial Green Jacket on this year's winner. There will be short Q&A session between Jim Nantz and the winner. For the last three years, the ceremony has run well past 7 p.m. and 60 Minutes has started about 7:20 - 7:30 p.m. I'm giving you the warning in advance.

However, as Peach knows if there's weather issues in Georgia, then Augusta National may start the final round early and if that happens, 60 Minutes could start on time. That's happened once in the last five years.

Post by: puddin on March 30, 2009, 11:28:19 AM: press release:

CBS Places First on Sunday in Key Demos for the Second Straight Week

"60 Minutes," "The Amazing Race" and "Cold Case" Win Their Time Periods

CBS placed first on Sunday in viewers for the fifth consecutive week and first in adults 18-49 and adults 25-54 for the second straight week behind time period wins for 60 MINUTES, THE AMAZING RACE 14 and COLD CASE, according to preliminary Nielsen live plus same day ratings for March 29.

Editors Note: Due to CBS's late running college basketball (approximately 18 minutes) and NBC's golf run over (until 8:00 PM), ratings for CBS and all time period rankings are tentative and subject to change.

From 7:30-8:30 PM, 60 MINUTES was first in households (8.7/14), viewers (14.04m), adults 25-54 (4.6/12) and adults 18-49 (3.6/10).

THE AMAZING RACE 14 at 8:30 PM was first in households (7.0/11), viewers (11.71m), adults 25-54 (4.4/10) and averaged a 3.4/08 in adults 18-49.

At 9:30 PM, COLD CASE was first in households (7.2/11), viewers (11.39m), tied for second in adults 25-54 (3.7/09, with ABC) and averaged a 2.7/07 in adults 18-49.

From 10:30-11:30 PM, THE UNIT delivered a 5.6/11 with 8.86m viewers, 3.0/08 in adults 25-54 and 2.2/07 in adults 18-49.

For the night, CBS was first in households (7.5/12), viewers (12.10m), adults 25-54 (4.1/10) and adults 18-49 (3.1/08). CBS won five consecutive Sundays in viewers, two in a row in both adults 25-54 and adults 18-49.

Updated Sunday rating will be available on Tuesday.

Not only was TAR the demo winner of the night, but it actually increased out of 60 Min. despite an overrun AND it tied that overrun in the demo. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.

...and to think it started out with a 2.6 in the demo.

Can someone provide some insight on how March Madness impacted TAR in years past?

TIFFANY SMITH-ANOA'I NAMED VICE PRESIDENT, DIVERSITY & COMMUNICATIONS, CBS TELEVISION

Tiffany Smith-Anoa’i has been appointed Vice President, Diversity & Communications, CBS Television, expanding her current role in the Communications department and establishing a newly created executive position on the West Coast to build diversity efforts across the Company.

The announcement was made today by Josie Thomas, Senior Vice President, Diversity, CBS Corporation, and Chris Ender, Senior Vice President, Communications, CBS Television.

Smith-Anoa’i will report to and support Thomas on initiatives that foster and celebrate diversity across the company, while continuing to report to Ender for all her ongoing and developing CBS Communications duties. She will also work with CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler on new and existing programs that recruit, nurture and hire diverse talent to work in front of and behind the camera of CBS programming. In addition, Smith-Anoa’i will serve as a liaison to multicultural coalition groups and provide outreach to agencies, guilds and other industry organizations that represent diverse talent.

Smith-Anoa’i segues to her new position after nine years in the Company’s Media Relations and Publicity department, most recently serving as Director, Communications. In addition to publicizing a wide range of entertainment programming, she developed communication strategies for diversity programs and managed the internship and mentoring program for the department.

"Expanding our diversity outreach and promoting a culture of inclusiveness continues to be a top priority at CBS," said Thomas. "The addition of Tiffany brings another strong voice to our efforts within our company and in the communities we serve, and an energetic, thoughtful and dedicated new executive with the specific mandate to help us grow existing programs and develop new plans that support a multicultural environment in all aspects of Entertainment."

Smith-Anoa’i, who will be based at CBS’s West Coast headquarters at CBS Studio Center in Studio City, Calif., will also continue in her key role with the CBS Communications department, working on entertainment programming while communicating the Company’s diversity activities both internally and externally.

"Tiffany is an incredibly gifted communicator who has already made a significant contribution to the work of our department," said Ender. "Now she will bring those talents to her expanded role as an important member of our diversity effort, where the role of communications could not be more crucial. As she combines her skills as a communicator with her understanding of the entertainment process, I know Tiffany will be a great ambassador for CBS both inside the company and with all our key constituents in the industry."

Prior to joining CBS, Smith-Anoa’i was a vice president for the public relations firm Agnes Huff Communications. She previously worked at Nike, Inc., helping to launch the NIKETOWN stores in Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco.

Smith is a graduate of Howard University. She is also actively involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on March 31, 2009, 05:46:17 PM: Some comparisons.

In comparison to the last season that aired in the Spring (All Stars) we are up (no matter how you slice it) in viewers 10.352 after the end of March Madness to 10.271 (at the end of MArch Madness) or after the 7th episode 10.352 versus 10.081 (for All Stars). BUt we are down in the 18-49 demo as Sunday's audience grows older each year.

Compared to season 13 we are up in viewers At episode #7 TAR 14 average at 10.352 versus season 13 at 10.209. and they are just marginally ahead of us in the 18-49 demo.

But this is the kicker. Out of 7 episodes we have benefitted only twice by overruns season 13 had 4 at this time. They also haven't had anything like the competition we had against the oscars (all Stars is the only other season thats occurred).

So this spring cycle is so far doing far better then how it started. We shall see how it can hold up in two weeks. After MArch MAdness 2 years ago TAR dropped down to 8.5 million. I don't think we will.

Post by: mswood on March 31, 2009, 07:37:53 PM: Here is a report thats depressing.

CBS: Smaller Shows, Bigger Film Division
UPDATE: You asked, I'll answer. I've just learned that CBS has demanded that each existing TV show -- even the hit ones -- reduce their budgets for next year, if renewed. This may mean smaller writing staffs. Meanwhile, Hollywood has been speculating about the future of the new CBS feature division. I'm told, "All systems go". Not only are there no layoffs, but there are actually additions as the division heads into production. Shooting begins April 7th on its first motion picture, a medical drama starring Harrison Ford. And its second pic, a romantic comedy starring Jennifer Lopez, starts principal photography in May

http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/cbs-smaller-shows-bigger-film-division/

There has been reports for many weeks about CBS money problems, they cut back on pilot season (which is good for us), but this is the first report I have seen about them asking for budget cuts across the board in their tv division, but as their stock price is now down to just over $3 I am not surprised.

That kind of sucks for TAR since they have already dealt with some serious cuts between All-Stars and Season 12.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: TARAsia Fan on March 31, 2009, 07:43:13 PM: I read this mswood. While CBS' ratings are up, ad revenues are down. Every division is taking a hit. What could help down the line for CBS is the Super Bowl which will raise serious cash for them, but the ad sales for the Big Game won't start until September.

CBS seriously needs help during the upfronts, but projections aren't good right now.

'Amazing Race' keeps climbing

After the nationals came in yesterday, Sunday night's "The Amazing Race" hit a 3.7 in the adult demo.

So far this season, "Race" has gone from a 2.6 premiere to another 2.6 to a 3.0, 3.1., 3.1, 3.6 and then 3.7. So from the debut to the most recent episode, that's a strikingly steep 42% climb (and compare that to how other seasoned reality shows have trended since their premieres this season).

Now "Race" had some help. Its first couple of Sundays, the show ran headlong into the Oscars and the start of Daylight Savings Time, lowering the expected viewership. And the most recent installment benefited from sports coverage that helped kick start CBS' lineup. But still, nobody is forced to watch a show and "Race" has clearly enjoyed a nice climb.

Not yet.... While certainly they are interviewing, the "upfronts" will not be until May 20, so that is when we can anticipate hearing when/if TAR 15 will be on the fall schedule.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: TARAsia Fan on April 01, 2009, 08:14:05 AM: There have been rare occasions when a network will announce a renewal before the network upfronts, but that's why they're rare. CBS' upfronts will be in May when they announce their full fall schedule. We'll know then officially about TAR15 and if they decide for a TAR16. In a normal economy, I would say chances are good, but with budget cuts coming in all CBS divisions, entertainment, news, sports, radio, outdoor advertising, etc., one cycle might be all we get.

Post by: mswood on April 13, 2009, 11:10:21 AM: Okay ratings for last night are broken down by half hours. With Tar starting at 8:38, we are in three different half hour periods.

8:30 10.30 2.8 adults 18-49 (this will be influenced by 8 minutes of 60 minutes)
9:00 10.84 3.0 adults 18-49 (this is all TAR)
9:30 9.64 2.4 adults 18-49 (only 8 minutes of this are TAR).

So I would expect a number 10.5 or better for this weeks rating.

TV ratings: CBS Masters Sunday competition
Golf playoff helps the Eye to the top
Zap2It.com

April 13 2009

Fast National ratings for Sunday, April 12, 2009

A sudden-death playoff for the Masters golf championship helped boost CBS to a ratings win on Easter Sunday.

CBS averaged a 6.9 rating/12 share for the night (because of the late-ending live golf coverage, the numbers will change a bit in final nationals). NBC, 4.6/8, finished second in households, but ABC, 4.5/8, brought in more total viewers. FOX came in fourth at 2.3/4, and The CW trailed with a paltry 0.7/1.

CBS also led among adults 18-49 with a 2.9 rating. ABC and NBC tied for second in the advertisers' favorite demographic with a 2.3. FOX averaged 1.8 and The CW only 0.3.

The Masters and "60 Minutes" combined for an 8.4/17 on CBS at 7 p.m. An "America's Funniest Home Videos" rerun, 3.6/7, gave ABC second place in viewers, even though "Dateline NBC" had a slightly higher household rating (3.7/7). Reruns of "American Dad" and "King of the Hill" averaged 1.5/3 for FOX. The CW aired its usual "Jericho" rerun.

CBS stayed on top at 8 with the conclusion of "60 Minutes" and "The Amazing Race," averaging 6.9/12 for the hour. "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," 4.8/8, kept ABC ahead of NBC and "Dateline." Repeats of "The Simpsons," 2.6/5, and "King of the Hill," were fourth for FOX, while the movie "Three Strikes" scored a 0.7/1 for The CW.

The second hour of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," 6.4/10, moved ABC into the top spot at 9. CBS fell to second as "The Amazing Race" and "Cold Case" combined for a 6.1/10. "The Celebrity Apprentice" drew a 4.6/7 for NBC, topping the 2.9/5 average for "Family Guy" and "American Dad" on FOX. The CW's movie improved a little in its second hour.

CBS regained the lead at 10 p.m. as "Cold Case" and "The Unit" averaged 6.4/11. "The Celebrity Apprentice" improved to 5.4/9 for NBC. A "Desperate Housewives" rerun on ABC earned a 3.1/5.

Ratings information is taken from fast national data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are preliminary and subject to change, especially in the case of live telecasts.

THE AMAZING RACE 14 was first in households (6.2/10), viewers (10.58m), adults 25-54 (4.0/10) and adults 18-49 (2.9/08) from 8:30-9:30PM.

Post by: mswood on April 13, 2009, 09:40:10 PM: Not a bad job of extrapolation, If I do say myself.

Oh and since I didn't do this yet. We probably wont beat the average rating of last season (but networks expect softer spring ratings, almost all shows perform worse in the spring then in the fall). What CBS will be looking at is how we compare to the last two times TAR aired in the Spring.

Will We could fall to 9 million each week for the rest of the season and still do better then both season 11 (all Stars) and season 9.

That is huge. And I think we are very likely getting two cycles (guess) next season.

That would be awesome. I would hope two cycles would be in the offing. Besides, the Sunday night lineup has stabilized since CBS put TAR in.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on April 14, 2009, 03:23:45 PM: Final ratings are coming in..

This is all I have so far.

TAR 10.572 million viewers placing 18th for the week. (11th highest for CBS)
3.1 adults 18-49 (an improvement over Fast Nationals and CBS top performer of the night) 24th for the week and 9th for CBS (2 of which were Basketball).
4.1 adults 25-54 (CBS top performer, which just shows how old 60 minutes is)

Post by: mswood on April 16, 2009, 08:21:28 PM: Yes it is indeed. So at the very least season 15, now we need to keep the viewers up for the rest of the season to try and get 2 cycles.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on April 20, 2009, 11:35:51 AM: Well fast nationals are out for this weeks episode.

TAR 10.40 million viewers and a 3.0 in the adult 18-49.
We won the hour in total viewers and in the a18-49 demo (and will certainly win the hour in the a25-54 demo).

The rest of CBS
60 min 11.87 million viewers and a 1.8 in the a18-49 demo (huge difference)

The Hallmark movie The Courageous Heart of Irene Sendler 9..82 million viewers and a dismal 1.5 in a-18-49.

THis is one of the best performances for TAR on Sundays during the Spring without any Sports overrun or strong lead in.

During all Stars (the last time we aired during the spring) after sports overruns ended we dropped to 8.8 million viewers.

Post by: mswood on April 21, 2009, 01:49:25 PM: Final numbers are out (and as soon as I can get the rest of the data I will update) for last week.

TAR 10.305 million viewers (Won time slot)
3.0 adults 18-49 (2nd in the 8pm to 830pm slot, Simpsons had a 3.1, but wins the period for the full hour)

The other CBS shows
60 minutes
12.041 million viewers and a 1.8 in adults 18-49 (so great growth in the all important demo)

Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler
9.826 million viewers and a terrible 1.5 in adults 18-49.

So the show did great to have such a huge increase in viewers between 18-49 while being sandwiched between two shows that really perfomed terribly in that revenue generating demo group.

Post by: TARAsia Fan on April 21, 2009, 02:29:46 PM: CBS has got to give TAR two cycles based on this ratings growth. What are they waiting for?
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on April 21, 2009, 02:39:36 PM: If the show can maintain over 10 million for the rest of the season (3 more episodes) and keep near a 3.0 in the demo. Then there is no real logical reason for them not to. Since being on Sunday its average is higher for viewers, and all three demo groups then any other show that CBS has aired original episodes of.

The only drawback on TAR is that it doesn't generate rerun revenue (or DVD sales, ect). But it should also be much cheaper then most scripted programming (so it should balance out).

Post by: mswood on April 21, 2009, 06:01:01 PM: While its true about it getting some cable rerun. The amount probably isn't that much. I am quite sure things like the Unit or Cold Case will get far, far more.

Ratings: 'American Idol' wins another weekly race
Apr 21, 2009, 07:40 PM | by Tanner Stransky

Categories: TV Ratings

The weekly ratings report is beginning to sound like a broken record: Once again, Fox's American Idol took the top spot with its two episodes drawing 24.4 million and 24.1 million viewers for the seven-day period ending April 19. ABC's Dancing With the Stars -- which started its season nipping at the heels of American Idol -- stayed firmly put at No. 3, drawing 19.5 million viewers. CBS' CSI (No. 4, 15.7 million) and the results hour of Dancing With the Stars (No. 5, 15.2 million) rounded out the Top 5 for the week.

The rest of the Top 20 included no surprises. There were no new premieres or specials to speak of, so it was filled out with Two and a Half Men, Desperate Housewives, a host of CBS procedurals, and The Amazing Race, to name a few of the usual suspects. The full Top 20 is after the jump.

1. American Idol | Fox | 24.4 million
2. American Idol | Fox | 24.1 million
3. Dancing With the Stars | ABC | 19.5 million
4. CSI | CBS | 15.7 million

9. CSI: Miami | CBS | 13.4 million
10. Without a Trace | CBS | 13.2 million
11. House | Fox | 12.2 million
The Mentalist | CBS | 12.2 million
13. CSI: NY | CBS | 12.1 million
14. 60 Minutes | CBS | 12 million
15. Survivor: Tocantins | CBS | 11.6 million

That one day is about to come... Survivor's already meh... I quit watching the show since Romber destroyed the essence of winning in All Stars...

While TAR on the other hand, we see more and more viewers grow to appreciate it, as well as this forum site is able to encourage so much people to join in our discussions, making it so much more fun as we have more opinions towards the show...

At least we know that we're not the only ones who are fanatics with the show... I was able to convince some of my friends to even watch the season again after long breaks of forgetting TAR... It's supremacy is just starting...

Kudos to the WRP team all over the world!

Romber was awesome in both Survivor and TAR. Plus, Amber remains hot to this day :tup:
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: apskip on April 24, 2009, 03:06:55 PM: Mooyou and Joab,

I am certainly no Romber fan. However, he is right in there with Zach and Colin as the greatest Amazing Racers ever. You may not like his style (I don't), but you can't argue with his results. Also, consider that a lot of the joie de vivre of AR11 left when Rob/Amber were eliminated on Isla Redonda. AR11 was definitely less fun to watch after that.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on April 27, 2009, 11:13:03 AM: Well preliminary numbers are out.

Here are the results for CBS
60 minutes 10.38 million viewers 1.6 adults 18-49
TAR 10.38 million viewers 3.1 adults 18-49
Cold Case 10.48 million viewers 2.2 in adults 18-49
Unit 8.87 million viewers and a 2.0 in adults 18-49

TAR had full retention of 60 mminutes audience, and nearly doubled its all important demo results.

It won the time period in viewers, a18-49, a 25-54 (don't know yet about 18-34 but probably not).

And Home Maker was new.

This is a great, great performance for CBS.

Post by: mswood on April 27, 2009, 12:17:11 PM: And what is so amazing about this is that for the last couple weeks that been without additional help from overruns.

In fact If it wasn't for the one episode that aired against the oscars we would have in total viewers more then Season 8, 9 , 11, and 13.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: TARAsia Fan on April 27, 2009, 12:24:53 PM: To keep the audience from 60 Minutes is extremely rare. To build on it for the next show is to borrow a word, amazing.

This cast has captured the imagination of the audience. Plus, last night was another suspenseful episode which helped. Two cycles. Two cycles. There has got to be two cycles. I want to see the Top 20. I would think CBS beat "Extreme Homemaker" like a drum last night.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on April 27, 2009, 12:26:40 PM: And I checked with another source and my pifeedback does have the wrong viewer total for TAR, its 10.29 like Puddin shows on CBS press release.

So just marginally lower then 60 minutes and Cold Case but significantly ahead in all demo groups.

With 18-34 numbers
60 minutes .9
TAR 2.1
Cold Case 1.1
Unit 1.2 (very surprised Unit does better then cold Case with the younger viewers)
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: TARAsia Fan on April 27, 2009, 12:29:33 PM: That's minor audience erosion. Overall, a very good night for CBS.

Post by: TARAsia Fan on May 06, 2009, 09:00:21 AM: Well, this is why we don't have the ratings:

Quote
Problems at Nielsen over the weekend have caused the delay of overnight ratings for both Sunday, May 4 and Monday, May 5. The delays are also affecting weekly ratings for the week of April 27 to May 3.

Currently there is no word on when the numbers will become available, but we will post stories for both nights as soon as they do.

TV Networks Frustrated By Lengthy Ratings Delay
By Brian Stelter

How many viewers watched “Chuck” on Monday night? It’s not a meaningless question; NBC is deciding in the next two weeks whether to renew the show, and fans have mounted a dramatic campaign to show their support.

But the nation’s television networks have not received the ratings for “Chuck” or for any other show since Saturday. Nielsen Media Research, in the midst of a systems breakdown, has failed to deliver ratings for four days in a row, and the networks are increasingly impatient.

Without the overnight ratings that decide the fates of shows, producers and sometimes executives, the networks are flying blind only days before they make pivotal decisions about next season’s schedules. Imagine running a movie theater without knowing how many tickets are being sold.

Nielsen attributed the delay to unspecified “server issues.” The overnight ratings for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday are delayed, as well as the broader TV rankings for last week.

“Since it’s necessary to release the data in sequence, we must process Sunday’s TV ratings prior to the release of any days this week,” the company said in a statement. “We’re working around the clock to get the TV ratings back on schedule.”

The company told its clients Wednesday morning that it is reviewing “all metered sample data for Sunday, May 3.”

Ratings delays have been a point of frustration between Nielsen and the networks in the past. In Feb. 2008 Nielsen acknowledged the disappointment in its performance and promised to improve. The New York Times’ Bill Carter reported at the time:
Quote
The clients do not have a great deal of sympathy for Nielsen’s problems mainly because they have a lot of money riding on the numbers that Nielsen provides. “There is so much revenue involved, over which we have no quality control,” said Alan Wurtzel, the president of research for NBC. “We don’t just use this data for analytical purposes. This is the currency of the business.”

The television business has about $60 billion a year in advertising revenue that is based on the ratings provided by Nielsen.

The fact that the numbers are frequently delayed is frustrating, executives at several television companies said, because daily meetings and some decisions are based on getting the information when promised.

Separately, Nielsen last week informed TV networks that it had recognized an undercount among users of its people meters, a device for measuring ratings. Members of the Nielsen panel are supposed to press buttons on the people meter when they start and stop watching TV.

Nielsen said “an in-house study showed 8 percent more people were watching TV in Nielsen households than had been measured” by the meters, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The Journal added: “Nielsen says it is continuing its research quarterly and is working on ways of improving people-meter accuracy, including better instruction of participants.”

Post by: puddin on May 06, 2009, 08:43:39 PM: Fox, CBS power primetime race
At CBS, "Two and a Half Men" (4.9/12 in 18-49, 14.16m) ranked fourth for the frame, as the net's Monday comedy block remains potent. Also, reality vets "Survivor" (3.6/11, 11.73m) and "Amazing Race" (3.2/9, 10.84m) led their hours, and Tuesday crime dramas "NCIS" (3.5/10, 16.70m) and "The Mentalist" (3.7/9, 17.11m) continue to be solid, with the latter standing as the week's most-watched scripted program overall.

.....................
Net's Sunday is drooping, though "Desperate Housewives" (4.4/11, 13.48m) was again the night's top show. Lead-in "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" (2.7/8, 9.18m) was low as well, and was topped in 18-49 by both CBS' "Amazing Race" and Fox's toon laffers.

Post by: mswood on May 06, 2009, 09:22:48 PM: Those are Fast Nationals (if anyone is curious) the numbers that come out usually before the final numbers do...

But here is something very nice. Sunday's episode is teh highest rated episode that didn't have any form of sports overrun for the full year Cycles 13 and 14.

And since moving to Sunday it is the 4th highest rated episode that didn't have the benefit of a sports overrun.
Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: TARAsia Fan on May 06, 2009, 09:49:12 PM: The fans have found TAR and like the timeslot. 60 Minutes is a nice lead-in and the news magazine has had a bang up season with the Obama interviews and big "gets". Plus, the audience also likes "Cold Case".

I hope CBS does not break up this lineup because it's a highly rated one. Certainly better to have TAR at 8 p.m. instead of the old "Murder, She Wrote" which appealed to 80 year olds.

Title: Re: Amazing Race 14 Ratings
Post by: mswood on May 12, 2009, 09:46:36 PM: With Final numbers out this tv season (ratings wise is all but over, just two more weeks of DVR results and thats it).

Cycle 14 official season average

10.412 million viewers
3.1 in adults 18-49
3.9 in adults 25-54
2.1 in adults 18-34

The results in bold mean during the Spring season we beat any other Sunday CBS programming (I need to double check the 25-54).

So how does this season compare to the rest. Well I don't have demo's (in full details except from season 7 to current) but just off of viewers.

Season 7 (Yeah Rob & Amber)
12.560 million viewers

Season 6
11.337 million viewers

Season 12
11.193 * million viewers

Season 10
11.148 * million viewers

Season 5
10.726 million viewers

Season 8 (Family Edition)
10.670 million viewers

Season 13
10.526 * Million viewers

Season 14
10.412 * Million viewers

Season 2
10.212 million viewers

Season 11 (All Stars)
9.713 million viewers

Season 1
9.520 million viewers

Season 3
9.063 million viewers

Season 9
8.852 million viewers

Season 4
8.293 million viewers

Two Notes
1. Broadcast TV typically declines in viewers each and every year as more and more people get their content from other sources. By it from downloads, from DVR's or just watching cable broadcast instead of network programming.

As such shows typically see declines of 5% each year (and thats actually normal).

2. With the advent of DVR more and more people are watching shows outside of the night they air. With DVR in more then 30% of homes this means that more and more viewers who do watch a program are not being included in the normal ratings.

With DVR ratings season 12 is in fact the 2nd most viewed season (easily passing season 6). Season 14 should end slightly higher up this list when all that data is finally released.

Its possible that TAR 15 may not end up on CTV :groan:.
