Paul, on the weekends we usually get them from Berman. During the week we’re not usually getting them via the Web.

If someone new was appointed to take over the network from Dawn they will probably maul the schedule and restart with brand new shows, would CW’s audience decline greatly if it went to cable? i don’t think so.

To be honest Dawn is ok, Smallville & Supernatural could be long gone, as the network is now targeting young women and said shows pull in good male numbers. But some of her methods make me cringe, why would the Robin pilot (The Graysons) be targetted at women more than men? Have designer clothes + girly music? LOL
One Tree Hill is still really good, Mondays episode was like a horror film :O:)

That better not mean Dawn is allowed to keep her job…

FYI, in the fast affiliates Smallville had a 2.6/4 and 3.95 million. Supernatural a 2.5/3 and 3.57 million…

2.6 means 2.6 percent of the households with televisions in the markets measured were watching. The 5 means five percent of the households with their TVs actually turned on were watching.

Note to Bill — I’ll add the boilerplate explanations when I resume these sometime ~ 10/13!

Charles i doubt it, a 2.5 in overnights would be about 3.60 – 3.80 i think:)

Charles, the “/5″ which is the share of metered market households watching TV that were tuned into that show really isn’t a direct indicator of the number of viewers. The rating “2.6/” which is the percentage of all TV households watching the show is proportional to the number of viewers. So it’s a reasonable assumption that an increase from 2.5 to 2.6 is likely to show a similar level of increase in the number of viewers.

>P.S. Sorry Cubs fans

TBS feels your pain too! It might be 3 and out for the best ratings matchup in the Division Series.

Ooh, Smallville could cross 4 million again. Bill, since Supernatural ended with a /5, does that mean it too could be over 4 million?

Paul,

These were the metered market numbers last week:
