Title: TAR 29 Ratings

0.9 rating in the demo and 4.3 mil viewers, series lows on both counts. Not good by any stretch of the imagination.

Not bad at all, its direct competitors The Catch (ABC) and The Blacklist: Redemption (NBC) having smaller margin ratings.

Title: Re: TAR 29 Ratings
Post by: TheRabbi on March 31, 2017, 01:15:35 PM
+3 will be interesting to see and all, but it generally doesn't really sway the needle. Generally the rich get richer (biggest gainers are always Walking dead, Empire, Grey's anatomy, etc). Its usually pretty comparable to the same day ratings.

Also keep in mind that the premieres are generally the high points of seasons, and once the buzz dies down, so will ratings. Theres no room left for TAR to drop. Hell, the CBS show Doubt got yanked after 2 episodes with around a .6 or .7.  So we need to stay steady.

It's certainly lower than we were hoping, and I'm not giving up on a rebound, but our best options going forward may be to hope for TAR to be either a summer show or move to CBS All Access.

The show was rushed to air so maybe people haven't found it in it's new slot. Maybe (and this is being hopeful) it can increase in raitings in the weeks to come.

Here's a somewhat hopeful spin from the tvbythenumbers ratings story.

“The Amazing Race” premiered to a 0.9, a little above average for the time period so far this season.”

I'd say that and winning the time slot are good things. Hopefully people recorded it will be be watching in the next few days. I watched it live and recorded it. I'll watch it again just in case that will get counted twice.

It'll be counted twice....if you're a Nielsen home. For anyone who is NOT a Nielsen viewer (probably almost all of us), the best way to help out is to watch on CBS's site, as those streams are absolutely counted.

Post by: gamerfan09 on April 02, 2017, 07:45:01 PM
A 0.9 is not ideal BUT it is very interesting that we basically got TAR28 numbers after A YEAR off the air.

And, despite them usually being whiny annoyances about anything and everything, Facebook casuals seem to love this season so far so *shrugs*

I also noticed that the new promos flash the timeslot in the middle of the screen the whole time, which is good to bring awareness as some might not catch the quick 2-second "Thursday 10 PM" at the end of the original promos.

I'm not sure this is anything new but this ratings article says it has adjusted ratings for last Thursday night. For the 10 o'clock hour, none of the shows (including TAR) had any adjustments. The weird thing is that this article was date stamped Friday the 31st and the adjusted ratings don't come out for a few days. In fact I looked for adjusted ratings yesterday and didn't see this article. So, I'm wondering if they just rewrote the original ratings article from last Friday without changing the date. Or maybe I was too dense to notice the adjustment info last week.

Anyway, no change to TAR's originally reported ratings.
Title: Re: TAR 29 Ratings
Post by: TheRabbi on April 04, 2017, 12:44:09 PM
Preliminary ratings are released around 11 am eastern time, and final ratings released around 4 pm, that isn't really a surprise that final ratings were posted on the 31st. The exceptions are Friday finals, which aren't posted until Monday, and Sunday finals, which don't come until Tuesday. Everything else gets finals posted around 4 pm the next day.

The weekly ratings are in and not surprisingly, TAR didn't make the top 25. However, they may have been somewhat close. 1.1 tied shows for 25th and TAR had a 0.9. In terms of the number of viewers, TAR wasn't close. 4.36 million vs. 6.10 million for 25th. No doubt fewer overall viewers at 10 PM affected that.

I'm checking daily for DVR numbers. Nothing seen yet.

Another 0.9 rating for episode 2. Probably subject to more revision than usual  in the final ratings given the various news preemptions. You almost need to discard a lot of ratings for shows last night. But it's good we didn't dip from the premiere

The viewership is down from S28's premiere, but the rank is the same.

Live plus 7 numbers were released for the week of the premiere. The 0.9 same day rating increased to a 1.6 rating in Live plus 7.

I would say that is respectable. Nothing too eye-raising, but not bad.

Entertainment Weekly has opinions about the survival chances of 47 shows on various networks that have yet to be renewed. Number 25  in the article is TAR and they have some discouraging words about TAR's ratings:

25. THE AMAZING RACE (CBS)
If this was nearly any other show I would assume CBS would dump it. After 29 cycles, ratings fell to only 4 million viewers and red-lining 0.9 rating. Maybe producers can cut costs by melting down all those golden Emmys?


I don't think things are as bad as they are portraying it and it ignores that TAR gained over 75% in time shifted viewing.

Also, All of the networks have a big dropoff in viewers for the 10 PM shows. Using the graphic that Claude posted below, The Catch on ABC held 59% of the viewers from the 9 PM show on ABC. NBC's Blacklist:Redemption held on to 63.5% of the audience for the NBC 9 PM show. TAR held on to 77% of the viewers of Life in Pieces, the CBS 9:30 PM show. I think that speaks well for TAR.

We will just have to wait and see what happens.

The first thing to know about ratings, oddly enough, is that total viewers are not important. Advertiser rates are set by the adults 18-49 rating, which is the main source of income for the networks, which is why I only report that figure here. Ratings is a fascinating business to analyze!

I remember one of the analysts at tvbythenumbers once said that how a show performs within its own network is more important than how it does against another network's shows.

So, as with any show, it'll likely boil down to where TAR ranks among CBS shows, and TAR's production budget versus its ratings performance. (TAR29 already seems like one of the cheapest seasons, task-wise, in a while.)

I was looking at the ratings of past seasons and I was surprised by the total, the dvr really propelled it higher. Like S.27's E01 it had 5.82 million viewers, adding the dvr it totaled 8.11 million. S.26 E05 initially totaled a 6.05 million, adding the dvr it garnered an 8.00 million. S.25's Finale had a total of 8.18 Million in viewers. It gave me the impression that TAR is still doing really well. I'm just disappointed that the long gap of showing S.29 affected it coupled with the late timeslot is killing it. There is interest from what I've been seeing from the castings, people are lining up to be on the show. I'm still hoping that the dvr's for this season will save it. Hoping for more seasons in the future and hopefully a move to a better timeslot. Can't we fans petition that?

Because total viewers is largely unimportant. The 18-49 demo is what sets commercial ad rates, so that is by far the most important and most frequently reported

The nets use 30; the media doesn't. The nets have research departments that can factor in all the ways eyeballs can see a show with the live plus 30 numbers. Generally those numbers aren't released but maybe twice a year, which is why you don't hear about them. IIRC, Moonves made mention of this several years ago as the flaws in live plus same day and live plus three became apparent. Live plus seven is of primary interest to advertisers not the nets. the nets like live plus 30 because it gathers all viewing platforms including streaming and VOD and those are actual total eyeballs not a sample.

Peach, the Thursday Night NFL package is basically 7 games in September/October and one or two near the holidays at the end of the season, usually not on Thursday nights. For a show on Thursday night after those games, seasons start in late October and reach midseason hiatus in December, then return (for 22/23 episodes in February/March, depending on exactly what the NCAA Big Dance schedule is like that opening weekend.

I stumbled across a list of events happening on other shows during the May sweeps periods (from tvline.com):

Number of characters giving birth: 3
Number of couples having s-e-x, kissing or saying “I Love You” for the first time: 29
Number of new pregnancies: 4
Number of weddings: 8
Number of couples reuniting: 11
Number of fatalities: 44

I'm not sure how TAR competes with all that. First of all, let's rule out fatalities. Aside from being tragic and sad, the liability would be staggering. TAR's done couples kissing, saying "I love you" and couples reuniting. I don't think that would be new and fresh. Maybe a pregnant racer or an engaged team getting married as a speed bump?

Maybe TAR needs something new and way outside the box. Like an 8 PM time slot or something like that.

Some interesting tidbits from the CBS upfronts this past week on how they are handling broadcast and digital audiences for advertisers. One tidbit, CBS now views the marketplace has having multiple demo audiences, instead of just the one.

http://deadline.com/2017/05/cbs-introduces-data-help-ad-buyers-span-broadcast-digital-upfront-1202096265/ (http://deadline.com/2017/05/cbs-introduces-data-help-ad-buyers-span-broadcast-digital-upfront-1202096265/)

Quote
Like other broadcasters this week, CBS used its upfront presentation today to take some shots at digital companies competing for ad dollars. But it also repeated a familiar theme: That its status as the No. 1 network sets it apart from its TV rivals.

“Great content is always king,” CEO Les Moonves told the Carnegie Hall audience, adding that CBS programming is “clean, advertiser friendly and the highest quality.”

With new platforms, CBS’ total audience is “greater today than it was back in the year 2000,” he says. And “we’ve moved beyond generic demographics. That old idea of just one, coveted demo is so dated — like American Idol.”

Network Sales President Jo Ann Ross says that CBS is “not just No. 1 with viewers. We’re No. 1 in 250 product categories with consumers. You know: consumers. The people who actually buy your products.”

Still, CBS says it’s embracing advances in data and measurement — one of the hot topics this week. The company introduced a service called CBS Customized Data Solutions to help advertisers target audiences across the company’s networks and digital platforms including CBS All Access.

“We’ll back this up with credible measurements,” she says.

Ross took a jab at NBC and Fox, which said this week that they will offer digital Video Quality Score measurements from Oracle’s MOAT.

They’re “catching up” since CBS “was among the first to partner with [it] years ago,” she says.

She assured buyers that the blend of broadcast and digital would provide them with “real people watching your commercials in hit shows with zero fraud — all from a source you can trust.”

Broadcasters have made hay with the trust issue this week after  sponsors found that digital platforms had connected their ads with content from hate groups, jihadists, suicides and a murder.

“We don’t promise what we can’t deliver,” Ross says. “Truth in advertising: What a concept.”

The company’s pitch “is simple,” she adds: “Seamless, easy buying across all screens for scaling target audiences quickly and the absolute best environment in all of media for your creative.”

And now the worse news: The finale was our lowest rated yet, scoring only a 0.7 with 3.88 million viewers. It's up from last week, and this week we managed to tick up a point from a Life in Pieces lead-in with a 0.6 and up against the NBA Finals. It's a respectable gain, but it is still very very low.

The DVR ratings that were posted just further prove that Live ratings still do matter. Other episodes had gone from 0.9 to 1.5, and that episode went from a 0.6 to 1.2.

I'm well aware that Live ratings aren't the only important metric anymore, but that's still where most of the bills get paid. To write them off as unimportant is foolish.

For anyone who wants to know more about which ratings matter, I've copied and pasted this blurb from http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/daily-ratings/tv-ratings-monday-june-5-2017/
Quote
This is from BM: "Do advertisers really care about L+7 or 3 or whatever math networks are using to goose their numbers? Maybe I'm odd, but when I'm watching a recorded show, never do I sit through the commercials. If I'm an advertiser, delayed playback wouldn't matter."

L+3 and L+7 ratings are used by the networks to evaluate shows and for PR purposes. When these metrics first appeared on the scene, the cry among executives was, "Wait for the Live plus 3s before you come to a conclusion regarding a show." It is now simply accepted that ALL shows add viewers with delayed viewing, but as I have said, the rich get richer and the poor get a little less poor. The big shows get the most delayed viewing, and the smaller shows may have bigger percentage increases for their audience, but they are still the smaller shows.
Media buyers care about the C3 and C7 ratings, which are the average minute ratings for the NETWORK commercials within a show. If you fast forward through the commercial, you will not be counted. If you stop to watch a commercial (people do), you will be counted.
If my memory serves me, the L+SD ratings are fairly close to the C3 ratings, but someone out there can email me if that is no longer true.

Thanks for the info slayton! While I do think that "The Masked Scheduler" is FOS at times, I have to agree that in this era of steadily declining ratings, Live + SD is no longer as accurate as it used to be.

Also some more news now that the 2016-2017 season is officially over, TAR averaged a 0.6 gain in Live +3, and averaged a 2.06 million gain in viewers. While our numbers aren's amazing, it's definitely notable that in terms of VIEWER GAIN, we are in the Top 25!

Finale Live +7 ratings are in! (and the last numbers of the season)

#7 overall in increase from 0.8 to a 1.4, and #3 overall in viewer increase from 3.91 million to 6.05 million viewers. Considering how our Live +7 more or less equaled TAR28, it's easy to see how this could have been a factor in our renewal (AND, unlike TAR28, we actually cracked the Live +7 Top 30 every week minus Episode 6). Good job TAR29!
