iCarly-Nov

As is always the case in the fall, NFL Monday Night Football on ESPN led the cable world.  A new iCarly on Saturday night was the week’s second most-watched program on cable, with over 5 million viewers.  Friday night’s Suite Life on Deck averaged 4.78 million.   Reruns of SpongeBob, Penguins of Madagascar and iCarly plus new WWE RAW and Monk episodes rounded out the top ten.

White Collar was back on the list at #11.

In its second week, newcomer  Fanboy & Chum Chum fell just outside the top 25 (though by Household Rating it was #25) at #27 with an average audience of 3.786 million.

Sadly, I’ve made the decision to no longer field requests.  We always post whatever data we see via press release or other trade publications already.  You can  subscribe to our RSS feed and  you can also follow @TravisYanan on Twitter.  During the week he usually posts some (not all) cable results for each weekday, usually late in the afternoon on the east coast (and Friday night data isn’t posted until Monday) and he posts the links to that info on his Twitter account to the info on Marc Berman’s PI Forums.  You can also follow me on Twitter, sometimes I will post some cable ratings, though I am not taking requests there either…

    Good to see White Collar back on the list. I hope it stabilizes soon and does have such a dramatic drop again. It’ll be interesting t see what the move does to the ratings.

    iCarly is so strong that a repeat from a year ago got close to 5 million viewers. iCarly has to be the second strongest current sitcom player on all of TV behind Men.

    For USA keeping Raw through 2014 was the right move.

    Kind of sad about the requests. Jim Carrey was on Chelsea Latley last Monday and I was wondering how it did. I’ll have to ask Travis if he got anything.

    iCarly is so impressive that I think its the one Nick show that the broadcasting affiliates should consider picking up since it does so well. It will do a well of wonders for them, why doesn’t Nick syndicate their shows to broadcasters that often? iCarly has enough episodes to hit syndication next year.

    jim, that’s just the average viewership for the game on NFL network. I’m sure the local broadcast Chicago and San Francisco numbers are out there somewhere, but I don’t have them, and I don’t *think* Robert’s seen them, but he’ll chime in if he did.

    I only saw the prelim HH ratings and never saw average viewers by the local markets.

    If it works like the Monday Night Football simulcasting, and I am guessing it does, we should see it in what shows up in the syndicated numbers (which lag by a week).

    Falcons/Saints on Monday 11/2 for example had 12.374 million on ESPN, but showed up in the syndicated report (which also includes ESPN) as 13.150 million. So while not having the specific market break outs we know the simulcast viewing in the combined two local markets (Atlanta/New Orleans) was 776,000 for that game. If that’s the case last Thursday’s NFLN game will show up in the the syndicated results we’ll see on Tuesday.

    Gods of TV Please renew SOA for 10 yrs!! What a great, well written, excellently acted series. Love the White Collar, great show too. Can’t wait for Royal Pain to return also.

    Shouldn’t there be a separate category for Children’s shows?
