World Series Ratings Game by Game World Series Ratings Games 1-5 Averaged Together ###

> Most of the other networks yielded the floor to ABC for the night. ABC:  GREY’S ANATOMY hadn’t aired a new episode, remarkably enough, since November 10, and viewers were thrilled to have it back, providing the show with a season-high 4.5.  PRIVATE PRACTICE, gone since November 17, was just below its season-high at 2.7.  […]

  BROADCAST FINALS ABC:  The 5th and final game of the NBA FINALS was at 3.98, almost identical to the 3.99 for 2022’s Game 5. CBS:  Reruns at 0.36/0.25/0.21/0.21.

        NETWORK FINALS:  THE BIG BANG THEORY and YOUNG SHELDON gained 0.1 in final numbers.         Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart     CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  ESPN’s NBA PLAYOFFS game was at 1.43, while NBC Sports Net’s NHL PLAYOFFS games were at 0.67/0.46.  A&E’s LIVE PD specials were at […]

> February Sweeps go out not with a bang, but with the other thing. ABC:  The first “midseason arc” episode of REVENGE looked almost exactly like all the other episodes, so it was fitting that the rating stayed even.  The show will now take a break from fresh episodes until the end-of-season push in April.  […]
