Greg, do you mean the *combined* average of the 5 top English broadcast networks? I haven’t calculated that for this chart, but I might add it back in the future. You can get a pretty good idea of the average by looking at the individual bars though.

Cool, that’s one reason I truncated the MyNet bars. However, another way to look at it is that if the 18-49 rating of the network is well correlated to its advertising revenue that MyNet has increased it’s revenue potential by 50+%.

One example.. So MNT had a 0.1 in the demo las year, this year they have a 0.2, that’s an increase of 50%. Looks huge but its artificial numbers.

Once again, I think Dawn was very shortsighted to let Smackdown go. I know she’s trying to get the female viewers, but any viewers are better than the zero viewers she currently has on Friday.
