So if advertisers are paying a lower CPM, getting 1.2 in the demo means they are paying EVEN LESS. This is not all relative. 1.2 for an hour long scripted show on a broadcast network means they are losing money. Jonathan, the way advertising works is generally CPM (cost per thousand).

Maybe advertisers pay less now because of the recession and the 1.2 in demo, makes enough money. I think it is a relative number not absolute. If they can have shows with higher than 1.2 in demo and find more advertisers, better advertisers, then they cancel those shows, but what if they can't find better higher paying advertisers? Regardless, a show is an investment. Especially with T4 coming up, more and more people everyday, just by hearing that T4 is coming out in May, are tuning into watch TSCC just out of curiosity for the franchise.

It's not as far-fetched as people think. After the T4 movie, people will be looking for anything closely related to Terminator franchise.
