  • Last Week's Final Adjusted Ratings


  • Early HH Ratings from Marc Berman (programminginsider)
    The analysis below is based on the early household numbers and are NOT the same as the numbers that will be posted in the above table later. (See the About section below)

    NOTE: The opinions expressed here are NOT those of SpoilerTV but of the Author of this Article, Marc Berman.

    Household Rating/Share
    ABC: 19.3 rating/30 share, CBS: 3.3/ 5, NBC: 2.0/ 3, Fox: 1.0/ 2

    Percent Change From the Year-Ago Oscar Night (2/22/15):
    CBS: + 3, NBC: – 5, ABC: – 8, Fox: -23

    Ratings Breakdown:
    It was all about “The 88th Annual Academy Awards” on ABC last night, which averaged an estimated 23.1 rating/37 share in the household overnights from 8:30-11:30 p.m. Comparably, this was six percent below the year-ago telecast (24.6/39 on 2/22/15). And that 24.6 overnight household rating translated into 37.26 million viewers, based on the Live + Same Day data, which was the smallest audience for the Oscars since the 36.31 million in 2009.

    Earlier in the evening on ABC was pre-show “Live from the Red Carpet” at an 8.8/16 from 7-8:30 p.m., which was nine percent below the 9.7/16 one year earlier.

    Elsewhere, the household overnight results, as expected, were minimal with all competing networks on repeats. A 90-minute edition of “60 Minutes” on CBS (4.6/ 7 from 7-8:30 p.m.) led into 2013 theatrical “Last Vegas” at a 2.4/ 4 from 8:30-11 p.m. Two-hours of “Dateline” on NBC (3.6/ 6 from 7-9 p.m.) led into a 1.1/ 2 for 2012 theatrical “Ted” from 9-11 p.m. And Fox populated the evening with “The Simpsons” (1.1/ 2), “Bob’s Burgers” (1.0/ 2), the regularly scheduled edition of “The Simpsons” (1.3/ 2), “Cooper Barrett’s Guide to Surviving the Universe” (1.1/ 2) and recent animated entry “Bordertown” from 7-10 p.m.

  • About the Daily Ratings
    Each day (except Sunday) during the main TV Season we post the TV Ratings for the previous nights primetime shows for the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, CW, FOX, NBC). Cable Network ratings will be added to the Ratings Database.

    The first item that gets posted (normally around 2pm GMT) is the early overnight analysis based on the early household numbers (these are not the same as the Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers that are posted later).

    Next, if available, we will post the Top 25 Market 18-49 Ratings to give you a rough idea of the ratings to following.

    Later on (normally between 4pm-5pm GMT) we post the official early overnight Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers in the table above (We also where possible now post the 18-34 and 25-54 Demo Numbers).

    Finally, later in the evening (10pm-11pm GMT) or the following day, the final adjusted ratings numbers are released, these are then posted in the Ratings Database. The Final Adjusted numbers are what we use for all our Renew/Cancellation Tables, Full Season Tables, Ratings Scorecards etc (see below). Friday's Final Adjusted Ratings are normally available on the following Monday.

    If you are new to ratings or still confused, we recommend you read this excellent
    Ratings FAQ.
