LOL Gary and Dana talking up how much younger Fox's audience is versus NBC, ABC and CBS on the day they announced they picked up Tim Allen's Get Off My Lawn and a comedy set in an old folks' home.

Ratings for the Sweet 16 on CBS & TBS were up 13% vs. the regional semifinals in 2019, as the two nets averaged 6.46M viewers over the course of the eight games, an improvement from 5.74M. March Madness may be the first big sporting event to beat the Pandemic Era ratings bug…

Sports on TV at this very moment: Game 6 of the NBA Finals, ALCS Game 1, Sunday Night Football. If you're going to write about tonight's ratings, FOR THE LOVE OF GOBSTOPPERS DO NOT USE THE FAST-AFFILIATE DATA—editors: put an end to this, tx—& don't ignore the historic weirdness.

Guy Fieri's three-year, $80M contract extension w/ Food Network puts him in good company, as his $26.7M annual salary would make him the 6th highest-earning NFL QB. He's also pulling down enough to claim the 19th spot among active MLB players, and No. 41 on the NBA list.

Nobody needs to know this, but the XFL v. 3.0 and USFL v. 3.0 finished in a dead heat, with the Disney/D. "il Rock" Johnson package averaging 602,073 viewers per game, while the Fox/NBC effort was up a statistically insignificant +2,102 vpg (604,175). Demos were terrible.

Season-to-date, NFL deliveries are down 5% to 14.9M viewers in all TV windows, while HH ratings have slipped just 4% to an 8.7*. The Papa John's man is full of shit and his pizza sucks ass. *Through Week 8 of the 2016 season: 15.6M viewers/9.1 HH Rating

The disparity in the Wild Card Weekend ratings should serve as a reminder that Fox will defend its NFC package with lethal force. Jan. 4 Bills-Texans (ESPN*) Titans-Patriots (CBS) Jan. 5 Vikings-Saints (Fox) Sea Birds-Air Birds (NBC) *simulcast on ABC

It's not only about access. @JimMiller puts on a clinic in this illuminating interview w/ John Skipper, getting to the heart of the matter with incisive questions and tenacious, yet empathic, follow-up Qs. This should put the counternarrative to rest…

As is the case with the NFL, where nine of the season's top 10 most-watched games have been broadcast in the national Sunday afternoon window, college football serves up its biggest ratings outside of primetime.

Not sure how else to interpret ABC averaging 9.1M viewers w/ Saturday night's broadcast of FSU's 45-24 drubbing of LSU—up 20.5% YOY vs the same matchup on 9/4/22—except to note that the network did those numbers while being dark in Charter HHs in NYC, LA, CHI, HOU, et al.

According to iSpot estimates, ABC booked around $36.7 million in ad revenue over the course of 9 eps of Roseanne. Factor in a likely unit cost of, say, $350,000 per 30-second spot (or double the 2017-18 upfront rate) & a 13-ep order, ABC was looking at ~$106M in Season 11 sales.
