THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 8/28/13

Posted August 29, 2013 by Mitch Salem

  Summer Wednesdays approach their end pretty much in place. NBC:  AMERICA’S GOT TALENT was up a tick from last week’s low to 2.2 (the 8PM clip show stayed at 1.3).  CAMP is currently even with last week’s low 0.9, but it began at 10:01PM, so that could change in final numbers. FOX:  The 9PM […]

THE SKED CABLE RATINGS SCORECARD: 8/24-27

Posted August 29, 2013 by Mitch Salem

THE SKED’S MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 8/26/13

Posted August 27, 2013 by Mitch Salem

  At this late point in the network summer, it wouldn’t make sense to expect much change from the norm. ABC:  The move of MISTRESSES to 9PM had only mild effect, as the show climbed 0.1 to 1.0.  That was below the 1.1 for the rerun SHARK TANK that preceded it. NBC:  With less competition […]

Top Cable and Broadcast Programs of the Week

Posted August 27, 2013 by Mitch Metcalf

MTV’s Video Music Awards took the top spot of the week, pushing Duck Dynasty into second place.  AMC’s Breaking Bad ticked up one tenth from last week.  Although it aired directly against the top-rated VMAs, there was very little overlap between those two audiences.  Also, Breaking Bad did not have to face HBO’s True Blood.  Nevertheless, Newsroom […]
