The Independence Day holiday weekend will cause delays for daily national ratings (live+same day cable and broadcast) for several days.  This is how the ratings should roll out the next several days.

We will update this schedule if anything changes.  (All times Pacific.)

  • Friday June 30 nationals available Wednesday July 5 at 7 am
  • Saturday July 1 nationals (cable only) available Wednesday July 5 at 1 pm
    • Broadcast nationals available Thursday July 6 at 7 am
  • Sunday July 2 nationals (cable only) available Wednesday July 5 at 1 pm
    • Broadcast nationals available Thursday July 6 at 7 am

  • Wednesday July 5 nationals (cable only) available Friday July 7 at 7 am
    • Broadcast nationals available Friday July 7 at 1 pm
  • Thursday July 6 nationals (cable only) available Friday July 7 at 1 pm
    • Broadcast nationals available Monday July 10 at 7 am

The schedule will return to normal with the release of Friday July 7 cable and broadcast nationals at 1 pm Monday July 10.

As usual, the “fast affiliate nationals” will continue to be released each morning at 8 am for the previous night’s preliminary prime time ratings on the broadcast networks.
