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. Also, * denotes normal release time.)

  • Wednesday July 3 nationals available Monday Jul 8 afternoon
  • Thursday July 4 nationals available Tuesday Jul 9 morning
  • Friday July 5 nationals available Tuesday Jul 9 afternoon
  • Saturday July 6 nationals available Wednesday Jul 10 morning
  • Sunday July 7 nationals available Wednesday Jul 10 morning
  • Monday July 8 nationals available Wednesday Jul 10 afternoon
  • Tue July 9 nationals available Wed Jul 10 afternoon (cable*) & Thur Jul 11 morning (broadcast)
  • Wed July 10 nationals available Thur Jul 11 afternoon (cable*) & Fri Jul 12 afternoon (broadcast)
  • Thur July 11 nationals available Fri Jul 12 afternoon (cable*) & Mon Jul 15 morning (broadcast)

The schedule will return to normal with the release of Friday July 12 cable and broadcast nationals at 1 pm Monday July 15.

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.
