Comments on: The 15 Hour Advantage, What Does Fox Gain? http://tvbythenumbers.com/2008/04/18/the-15-hour-advantage-what-does-fox-gain/3379 Nielsen TV Show Ratings, Data and More Sat, 21 Nov 2009 14:24:22 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Bill Gorman http://tvbythenumbers.com/2008/04/18/the-15-hour-advantage-what-does-fox-gain/3379#comment-10025 Bill Gorman Sun, 20 Apr 2008 10:13:16 +0000 http://tvbythenumbers.com/2008/04/18/the-15-hour-advantage-what-does-fox-gain/3379#comment-10025 Joe R, touche! I should have written that they program to take advantage of their top shows as best they can. NBC's success at 10pm is because of Law & Order and Law & Order:SVU. My guess is that those shows may be too "adult" to air at 9pm. Joe R, touche!

The rest of their programming struggles badly if not paired with one of these shows. I fully disagree only because FOX stinks so bad if American Idol or House isn’t on.

FOX doesn't need another 7 hours, because 2 GRRRRREAT shows a night is wayyyyyyyyyyy better than 3 hours of average entertainment. What's more important is which network is #1 w/ advertisers. How much $$$ do Fox's 8PM shows get vs. the other networks, and how do the budgets for shows like CSI and House compare? If each episode of CSI costs $3 million, but House costs $1 million, and they both get top dollar from ads then FOX is still #1, cuz it wins the 18-49 demo too. If i ever wanted to go into the TV exec Biz I would want to work for Fox 20th century Home Television. This post was soooooooo right on!!!!
